In general, Half-orcs are fairly rare in Aurora and the people of Aevira know little about them. When people imagine a half-orc, they usually think of a big green elf, but a few ignorant sorts might still hold the stereotype of a “simpleton from the swamps.” The first half-orcs in Aevira were born of a union between human and orc slaves in the final days of the Cascade.
Though many in Aevira find by the coupling of humans and orcs to be distasteful, the half-orcs are celebrated in the Eastern Marshes. As a result, many half-orcs view themselves as the bridge that unites the humans and orcs as a common people.
Half-orcs frequently occupy the fringes of society. Although orcs are recognized as a civilized race under the Nexentrum Law, they are none-the-less looked down upon by others, while the human ancestry in them craves social structure and comforts.
