They are massive, standing close to seven feet tall, with thick, muscular frames that make them larger and stronger than most humanoid races. Their skin tones range from dark gray to murky green, and their faces bear heavy brows, jagged tusks, and piercing eyes that burn with relentless aggression. Born and bred for violence, Orogs thrive in warrior cultures, usually as leaders among orc warbands or as mercenary enforcers for warlords and tyrants. They have little interest in diplomacy or politics, believing that strength alone determines one's worth. Unlike their more reckless orcish kin, Orogs possess a calculating ferocity, making them disciplined but savage combatants. Physical & Mental Traits Orogs are towering and heavily built, with dense muscle and thick, battle-worn skin that can shrug off blows that would fell lesser warriors. They have low agility, but their resilience allows them to endure pain and exhaustion far beyond human limits. Their vicious nature makes them poor scholars, but in combat, they tend to exhibit a ruthless tactical instinct that allows them to dominate the battlefield. Orogs have little patience for philosophy, mysticism, or faith, viewing gods as mostly irrelevant in the face of raw strength. As a result, they are rarely spiritual or scholarly, preferring action over contemplation. An exception to this are those few Orogs who become Death Knights. They are some of the most vicious and cunning war leaders in Caladon's armies. Culture & Philosophy Orog society is built on dominance and bloodshed. Whether fighting alongside orcs, ruling over weaker humanoids, or serving as mercenaries, they value brutality, loyalty, and raw power above all else. They do not recognize nobility or birthright¿only the strong deserve to rule. In battle, Orogs fight without mercy, overwhelming their foes with sheer force and endurance. Though many serve in orcish warbands, Orogs are not mindless. They possess a crude but effective tactical mindset, making them formidable leaders and warriors alike. Their only loyalty is to strength and survival - any ruler, warlord, or faction that proves weak will be discarded or overthrown. Orogs are not builders or craftsmen - they prefer to take what they need by force. They have no interest in art, poetry, or knowledge, only the art of war.
