Lifestyle
Orcs can easily be divided in two major groups, those of the Orcish Empire and those that aren't.

The Orcs of the Empire are prideful warriors that look always to better themselves in the field of combat, as well as finding the next worthy opponent to fight with, each one has their own personal code of honor that they follow to great lenghts and would only break it in the most extreme of circunstances.

The Orcs that aren't part of the Empire vary greatly; some look up to their brethen and pick their own codes and ways to follow them but are far more flexible with it, while others see them as weak pitiful fools that refuse to acknowledge the bloodlust that is their birthright and seek to destroy everything they touch.
