Orc

Orcs are some of the most hardy of the races, usually making great warriors. However, their entire race bears the Curse of Obsidian: as they age, their skin turns to a stone material, and they begin to have prophetic nightmares.

Biology
Orcs are strong, well-built individuals, but grow weaker with age, to a greater degree than other races due to the Curse of Obsidian.

Culture
In the days of Teah, the Orc elders met and offered their people to the service of the Wall to gain immense strength, but became mindless marauders fueled by rage. Once the Wall died, the Orcs were released from this, but bear the after effects that still haunt them generations later. When an Orc begins to reach middle age, their skin becomes as tough and rigid as stone, and they begin to have prophetic and terrifying dreams. Most Orcs attempt to avoid this fate by living recklessly, typically finding service in a mercenary corps, seeking to die early.
