The Wild Orcs fit every stereotype that one could conjure for a savage beast given human form. When the Hordekin still ruled the central plains, the Wild Orcs made up the majority of their armies and people, just as they done for nearly a thousand years before there even was a distinction between continents. Feral and primitive, the diminished faculties of a Wild Orc are countered by super-human strength and endurance.

Grey Orcs, while just as fierce in a fight, seem to have long eschewed the ravenous need to destroy common in their central plains cousins. Most Grey Orcs dwell in the north, right on the border between the endless forests of Sveburga and the plains. Besides their slightly more reasonable demeanor, Grey Orcs set themselves apart from their wild brethren in the use of the giant wolves as mounts over horses, and deep appreciation of ancestral spirits.

Murrgraat (“Half-Bloods” in Orcish) by comparison, have no established societies of their own, and tend to live in the fringes of greater ones. Often, the reputation of Wild Orcs taints the perception on all with orcish lineage and the so called Half-Bloods, with virtually no support network, feel this the worst. When found away from their Wild and Grey brethren, Half-Bloods tend to live in the harsher parts of the world, where one is judged by their ability to fight and survive more so than ancestry. As a result, the largest populations are typically in Sveburgen and Varangar lands.
Racial Traits:
+2 to a single Ability Score
Endurance: Half-Orcs share their parent’s general durability, and receive the Endurance Feat for free at 1st level.
