In a long-lost language, the word oruk—“blood fire”—
described the glowing appearance of the orc people when
they push themselves to their limits. While orcs know one
another as kanin in their own tongue, they also use “orc”
with great pride, especially when dealing with other folk.
Creatures of intense emotion, orcs are more inclined to act than contemplate - whether the rage burning their bodies compels them to fight, or the love filling their hearts inspires acts of incredible kindness.
