What Are Orcs?

Orcs are a brutish war driven fantasy race known for raw strength, tribal culture and a guttural language built on hard consonants. They appear across D&D, BG3, WoW, Warhammer and Skyrim, organized into clans led by a warchief or warlord.

Despite their different settings, most orcs share the same core traits: a warrior society, deep clan loyalty and names that hit hard when spoken aloud. Their lore is well documented on D&D Beyond, Warcraft Wiki and the Warhammer Fantasy Wiki.
