Orsimer, or perhaps more popularly known as Orcs, are a rather brutish and powerful race of elven origin. Though they have elven blood, they are considered to be both Beast and Goblin-kin. Most other races consider them rough and cruel.
They live in clans, led by a chieftain who holds the right to have wives and father children. For the clan to have a new leader, one of the sons has to challenge and defeat his father. Despite how it may seem, their society is pretty sophisticated.
Examples of good names are Bragglak Malad, Duluurz Sharbug, Orolg Gro-Loror, and Volba Gra-Bagum.
