Orc
Orcs trace their creation to the one-eyed god Gruumsh, an unstoppable warrior and powerful leader. The divine qualities of Gruumsh resonate within orcs, granting them a reflection of his toughness and tenacity that can’t be matched, and the god equipped his children to be able to live above or below ground.
Orcish culture is extremely tribal and warlike, the only exception to this being the recent formation of the Kingdom of Many Arrows in northern Faerûn. When not at war, they are usually planning for it. Most orcs approach life with the belief that to survive, one has to subjugate potential enemies and control as many resources as possible, which puts them naturally at odds with other races as well as each other. This belief is spurred in part by Gruumsh and his pantheon, which taught the orcs that all races are inferior to them.
