Long believed to be the perfect soldiers, the orcs have thrown off slavery and risen up against their masters.

Mighty, threatening figures, orcs tower over humans. They were created to be the perfect soldier and were created for the purpose of war. Unfortunately, the dark energies used to craft this warrior race was laced with Corruption, making the weaker-willed orcs prone to violence and cruelty.
