Half-Orcs
Half-orcs are a magical creation from the experimentation of the wizards of the Magnosi Empire and not a natural phenomenon. They are generally larger and stronger than humans and more intelligent and less chaotic than orcs. They were called the War-Breed by the Magnosi and were created to be slave shock troops for the empire, and after the empire fell, they scattered throughout the world. In many societies, they are looked upon with fear and suspicion.

The wizards of the Magnosi Empire became interested in using magic to breed races together to create new races when they learned of the existence of half-elves.
