| Half-Orcs are those descended from both [[orcs|Orc]] and Men]] ancestors, for however many generations. They can look very Manlike or very Orc-like or anything in between. They have good cave vision, without sun sensitivity, and some heightened resistance to poison and disease. Most Half-Orcs speak both Common (or some other Mannish tongue) and Orcish, but it is not uncommon for an individual to speak only one language. The Half-Orcs do exist as both isolated individuals and in communities, Members of communities of Half-Orcs that have a high proportion of Mannish ancestry and appear more Manlike are sometimes called Orkin. The village of [[v30|Grundor]], a vassal of [[starkpool_barony|Starkpool City]], is the only Half-Orc community in the [[starkpool_reach|Starkpool Reach]]. Unlike all the other Chaos Tribes, Half-Orcs do sometimes become Neutral or Lawful in alignment. Half-Orc leaders can be Punishers, Warlocks, Warriors, Ravagers and some types of Jacks, but are not ever Mages. Members of the 5 Kindreds find Half-Orcs to be somehow creepy at an instinctual level and dogs react badly to their presence. | Hoborgs are the worst, they just suck. They were bred by crossing [[orcs|Orcs]] with [[hobgoblins|Hobgoblins]] to create multi-talented jerks. Hoborgs have scarlet skin and beady yellow eyes with good cave vision and no sun sensitivity. Every non-Hoborg has a more negative reaction to meeting a Hoborg than they would to anything else. Hoborg leaders may be Punishers, Warriors, some types of Jacks, and Sorcerers, but must always be multi-classed, with Assassin/Sorcerer being the most feared and common. Attacking from secret and escaping to ambush another day are their meat and drink. They have several villages in the [[braxx|Barony of Braxx]]. Hoborgs are generally fluent in both the Orcish and Goblin languages. Their motto is “If you’ve got time to gab, you’ve got time to stab.” |
