Homebrew Dworc Species Details
Dworcs are the offspring of an orc (or half-orc) and a dwarf. They have greenish-pink skin, and most have eyes with pigmentation that resembles that of precious gemstones – most commonly amethyst or sapphires.
They make for precocious children, learning any and everything anyone will teach them. Most relish praise, but have short tempers, and will match any aggrievance with insult or a clenched fist. Dworcs have healthy appetites for any everything: especially exploration of the natural world, food, life, love, and learning.
While few dworcs are born, almost all of them take to a life of adventure, travel widely, and many make no small name for themselves.
