BARBARIAN TRIBES
| Spoken Language: Orc, Common |
Overview
Half-Orcs of the barbarian tribes are hardy survivors who shun the “soft” lives of city-dwellers in favor of the ancestral traditions of the wild. Raised in the most unforgiving climates—from jagged mountain peaks to sun-scorched wastes—they value raw physical power and tribal loyalty above all else. While urban half-orcs often struggle to navigate human prejudice, these tribesmen embrace their dual nature as a source of superiority, acting as the primary hunters and protectors of their nomadic clans.
Physical Appearance
Physically, these warriors are typically broader and more heavily scarred than their city-born kin, often adorned with ritual tattoos or animal trophies that denote their status and victories. They possess a natural resilience and ferocity, though their focus on primal instinct and survival often results in a lower Intelligence. In battle, they are known for a terrifying, single-minded focus, utilizing their Orcish heritage to shrug off wounds that would fell a human, ensuring the tribe's legacy endures through blood and iron.
