Tracing their lineage back to stone giants and even titans from long ago. Living as shamanistic clans, they were tricked by the demons and the traitors of their own kind into drinking demon blood, which made all who drank to obey their new masters.
Battling on their own world, and on Azeroth as well, they now live on Kalimdor in huge cities but also small settlements as well. They are proud, strong, and like to boast, sing, feast, and fight. Weakness is not to be tolerated in almost all clans.
Orcs can be selfish, but also spiritual and honorable, bringing some of the more positive traits to the table. Orcs are proud of their names and some good examples are Del Noseguard, Esha Quicksmoke, and Morguk Goreaxe.

Strong, proud, and honorable, with a somewhat primitive and clan-oriented lifestyle, Orcs are a very interesting race. The best of them prove to be worthy allies who hold to their words and promises and would die before breaking the oath. The worst of them are sly, cunning, and treacherous creatures, caring only about themselves and their own personal goals. Shamanism and spirituality still have a place in their lives, and the thought of an honorable race still occupies the minds of most of their kind. Create an Orc, come up with a worthy name which your enemies will utter in terror, while your allies will sing you praises, and venture on through the world that awaits you.
