Homebrew Draenorian Orc Species Details

The orcs originally resided on the world of Draenor. Unfortunately, The Burning Legion made use of them in an attempt to conquer Azeroth—they were infected with the daemonic blood of Mannoroth the Destructor, driven mad, and turned upon both the Draenei and the denizens of Azeroth. After losing the Second War, they were cut off from the corrupting influence of Mannoroth, and began to return to their shamanistic roots. Now, under the leadership of their new Warchief, the orcs are carving out a home for themselves in Azeroth.

Orc culture is all about strength and honor, fighting back demons who would seek to corrupt them and conquering Azerothian lands when they see fit. Orcs are deeply rooted in their past and revere their elders and past heroes and have a long and storied history of rugged living and survival. Orcs are separated into clans but have a deep level of respect and honor for each other. Orcs generally favor physical combat and distrust magic.

Draenorian Orc's were once brown, grey or black skinned with a variety of eye colors however, after they consumed the blood of Mannoroth, their skin turned to hues of green, and their eyes are now red. These physiological changes have become hereditary. Their hair color has remained unaffected by the demon's blood.
