Homebrew [TES] Orsimer Species Details

The Orsimer, commonly known as Orcs, are considered to be barbarian people by most of the other races on Nirn and are from the mountainous regions of western Tamriel. They are centrally located in Orsinium, laying upon the mountains between Skyrim and Hammerfell but are common in other locations in Tamriel. Orsimer are of Elven blood, but this heritage is either not recognized or is forgotten by many in Tamriel. According to some sources, "Orsimer" is the "proper racial naming,"whereas others state that their name means "Orc," and others state that the closest to the translation of their name is "Pariah Folk." Orcish life span is similar to that of humans.
