Physiology
Orcs have a physiological conditions which caused their veins to glow. This happens when they pushed themselves to the limit, when they are excited, driven or even when blood is drawn [1]. This phenomenon was known as "blood fire" or "oruk" in a long-lost language [2].
They posses tough-skinned faces, their hair can range from coarse to fine, extending from their heads and drapes across their shoulders like royal mantles. A pair of strong tusks extends past their lip and guard the rest of their teeth. [2]
Psychology
The might of an orc's anger was legendary as it was capable of driving one to the edge of death. Orcs were famed in Ordenas consummate warriors - a reputation that the peace-loving orcs found distasteful. [1]
They made their homes in the borderlands between human and elven cultures, preferring the natural forests and avoiding the elf-haunted wodes [1]. However, they were also an adaptable ancestry, having settled into villages and cities, hot and cold climates, high in the mountains and deep underground [2].
Their dichotomy between their desire to be left alone and their zeal for battle is summarized in a dwarven proverb:
Be thankful orcs do not hold grudges—A dwarf, once, [1]
