In-game racial description

About the Orukar

The Orukar are one of the oldest peoples of Tymora, renowned for their resilience, adaptability, and ability to thrive in even the harshest environments. Long before the rise of many modern kingdoms, they roamed the world in great clans, surviving through strength, ingenuity, and an unwavering determination to endure. Today they can be found across every corner of Tymora, from bustling cities and trade ports to remote wildernesses and untamed frontiers.

Though outsiders commonly divide them into Orcs and Goblins, the Orukar themselves recognize no such distinction. To them, these are merely natural variations within the same people. Larger and more physically imposing individuals are often called Orcs, while their smaller and more agile kin are known as Goblins. Despite these differences in appearance, both share the same ancestry, traditions, and cultural identity as members of the Orukar race.

Orcs

Orcs are the larger and more physically powerful members of the Orukar people. Their strength, endurance, and imposing presence have earned them a reputation as formidable warriors, laborers, and protectors. While outsiders often focus on their martial abilities, Orcs can be found in every walk of life, from craftsmen and sailors to merchants, scholars, and political leaders.

Orcs are often admired for their determination and perseverance. Whether facing hardship, conflict, or impossible odds, they are known for meeting challenges head-on and refusing to yield until the task is done.

Goblins

Goblins are the smaller and more agile members of the Orukar people. Quick-witted, resourceful, and adaptable, they excel at finding opportunities where others see obstacles. Their size often allows them to move through the world differently than their larger kin, relying on cleverness, dexterity, and creativity to achieve their goals.

Goblins are commonly found as scouts, traders, inventors, craftsmen, explorers, and problem-solvers. Though sometimes underestimated by outsiders, they have a long history of proving that strength comes in many forms.
