Half-Orc

Half-orcs are exceedingly rare on Cisum. With few orc tribes spread across the continents, there aren't many chances for marriages or other less-savory means for humans and orcs to mate. Those half-orcs who do not stay with their orc tribe often seek glory and fame to find purpose or spurn their tribe for ostricizing them.

If playing with achievements and milestones, choosing this race at character creation grants the player the achievement "Born This Way."

age: Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years
