Orcblooded
The Orcblooded are the descendants of the orcs of Corva, and they carry their ancestors’ gifts: a natural martial instinct and a ferocity that makes them dangerous in any melee. Many also inherit a deep spiritual connection to the wild nature of the world, felt through sacred powers, revered ancestors, and animal spirits.
Where their orcish forebears were known for wildness and savagery, the orcblooded of Sair have spent the centuries since the Year of Trembling integrating themselves into the life of civilization. Young orcblooded commonly seek adventure in the borderlands, driving back raiders from the remnants of Valeria, Dagon, and the neighboring human lands, and their warriors are prized by the armies of the Sairan empire. Others turn that same drive to plunder in the criminal underworld, or fight to expand the reach of civilization and the faith of Numilvara and the Tiger Prince. Arcane talent has never come easily to them — the few who master it are rumored to have struck pacts with dark powers.
