Half-Orcs

Half-Orcs are cautiously welcome in most Midvarian cities. Too many Geldoran citizens have suffered at the hands of orc warbands to trust a half orc upon first meeting, but many half orcs prove themselves to be valued members of their communities.   Half-Orcs were humanoids born of both human and orc ancestry by a multitude of means. Having the combined physical power of their orcish ancestors with the agility of their human ones, half-orcs were formidable individuals.[6] Though they were often shunned in both human and orcish society for different reasons, half-orcs have proven themselves from time to time as worthy heroes and dangerous villains. Their existence implied an interesting back story that most would not like to dwell on.
