Orc
The orcs were one of the richest races on the three continents long ago, but their savage and violent lifestyles justified in the minds of some other races a discrimination that led to looting, exclusion from territories, refusal to trade with them and deprivation of resources. However, the orcs have proven to be strong and undeterrable throughout history, using their warrior strength and scarce remaining resources to settle where the other world reigned and force other peoples to respect them and resume trade with them. Characterized by their great height, 1m92 on average with slightly smaller women, by their rather dull skin tone ranging from grey to dark brown to dark green, and by their fangs or metallic-looking marks on their bodies, orcs are quite different from any other species. They have an average lifespan of 200 years but it seems that the will and training of an orc alone can keep him alive which is why they do not believe in an afterlife, "those who are destined to live will live, the others will fight to change their fate".
