So, when the first Orc mated with the first Human in 867wr, the first Half-Orc was born. He would lead the tribe he was born to, and would help create more Half-Orcs. After many years, more Half-Orcs would be born, usually from successful raids on villages and towns, and a famous hero named "Higilikish, the Gray," who was a Half-Orc, had helped save the underdark from the Demogorgon.
During the Calamity event, in the Wildlands, an Orc kingdom had formed, called the Bandiotas, named by the Clan who lead the other clans into creating the kingdom. The Half-Orcs of this clan were treated as slaves and shock troopers in this Kingdom, often being used as distractions so that the "Real Orcs" can either kill the caravan or steal it's supplies.
