Orcen

Orcen are medium to large bodied beings that thrive in the hot and rugged lands of Opyria. One of the original races to Ryne, the Orcen face the harshness of Ryne with equal vigour to remain a thriving race.

Orcs are some of the toughest beings on the surface of Ryne. With thick skin that protects them from both the sun’s burning rays, or the winter’s harshest winters, the Orcen race powers through life on Ryne with the natural boon that they were bestowed. This skin may provide adequate protection against the elements, though it also has been noted to absorb some of the brunt of weaker magical offences, proving the Orc people to be a formidable force for anyone that dares go toe to toe with them.

With their time on Ryne, Orcs are actually the first race to really harness the world’s natural magic for their own, finding the most potent of magics contained in blood of the colossi. This is one of the defining reasons as to why the Orcs find no wrongdoing in utilising blood for magic like many others seem to. With blood magic defining the way they partook in battles of old, Orcs have refined blood magic, only using the blood of the animals they prepare for food, or the enemies they have felled in battle.

While not typically a nomadic race, the Orcs have claimed most of Opyria as their own, adapting to the different areas of Opyria as necessary. They form weapons from the rich iron ores found on the continent, bones from some of their larger enemies, and from the blood that they utilise for their magic. These play an important role in Orcen society, especially with their love of more physical sport and proving their strength in battle against not only the wildlife of Ryne, but among one another.

At the moment, while it seems that the Orcen people can get along well enough with the others that are outside Opyria, the rough and tumble culture that the Orcs have tends to butt heads with the other people. With their more brash approach to situations and apparent lack of diplomacy, the Orcs find themselves with less outside races that tend to agree with them on the whole.
