Dworc Names
Half-orcs usually have names appropriate to the culture in which they were raised. A half-orc who wants to fit in among dwarvin might trade an orc name for a dwarvin name. Some half-orcs with dwarvin names decide to adopt a guttural orc name because they think it makes them more intimidating.
Dworcs have found people acceptance because of the pity people give them, for being a primarily inslaved race.
