Half-orcs

Half-orcs are relatively rare in the Novan Empire, apart from the very fringes where the marauding orcs haven't been fully driven out.

They are not treated the best in most of the civilized world, and are seen as monstrous by many.

It is rare to see a wealthy half-orc, and when they exist, they are usually mercenaries, criminals or retired legionnaires.

They tend to form communities with tieflings, halfings and other outcasts in larger cities. Half-orcs have a somewhat shorter lifespan, usually around 65 years

Physiology
Unlike half-elves, half-orcs are actually fertile, due to the orcish taint that allowed them to be born in the first place. In such cases, their orcish features tend to remain prominent in their offspring, so many "half-orcs" are in fact two or three generations removed from their orcish ancestor.
