Halk
Half-orcs
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Half-orcs stand between The Empire and the orcs. It takes time for them to be accepted by either side, and some never win acceptance from either. The Empire tends to see them as savage beasts, while orcs may regard them as weak and pitiable.1
Half-orcs in the Empire
Gregor the Brute, a half-orc born on the outskirts of Vansreik, made his name as a hunter of the monsters hiding in the swamps around the city. After a decade in the Hunter's Guild he grew tired of its politics: try as he might to rise through its ranks, the guild favoured the promotion of its human members over minorities.2
