Orcs

 

Once thought of as barbaric savages, the orcs that joined civilization during the Era of Rising have proven themselves to be quite disciplined. With food and survival no longer their primary concerns they blended into the elven empire over time. They are known for being intensely dedicated and focused on self improvement to the point of a fault. Thanks to their perfectionist nature alongside their historical contributions they have a high standing within the empire of Alnae where they most frequently reside. While it is a stereotype there is some truth to the idea that an orc is always a good employee due to these behaviors.

A large majority of their populace like to practice Zankou or Incarnum magic, many others enjoy physical competition and are great sport competitors. Their general culture believes in mastery of the self, and those that aren't found in dojos and sports arenas can be found quite content behind an office desk mastering the filing system the company uses.

They are a sturdy race and while not always the most intelligent it doesn't hinder their opportunities much due to the goodwill they have built for themselves as a whole.
