Orcs

Orcs are the primary race of the Alliance of Selvath. Intelligent as humans, they are known for their incredible ability to survive on almost anything. Orcs are not known to possess any magical abilities, instead, they have mastered manipulating the natural elements in warfare. They are the most physically powerful and tall of all the races of Aarden. Due to the violent lifestyle they lead, it is not fully understood how long they live, though the elves put them at one-hundred and twenty years.
