Half-Ashlung Orc

Home -> Races -> Half-Ashlung Orcs
These hybrids between Ashlung Orcs and Humans or High Elves are extremely rare but are seen by some Ashlungs as a great hope for their race. Even though Half-Ashlung Orcs are born with the same darkened skin the Ashlungs were cursed with, it doesn’t seem like they are reliant upon ash the same way (nor do they breathe out ash the same way). Because of this, many within the Ashlung Orcs see these half-breeds as an opportunity to bring their race back to their former glory. This opinion isn’t shared by all the Ashlungs though, with some seeing Half-Ashlung Orcs as the sign that they are blending into the other factions instead of ruling over them, which is fundamentally against their concept of freedom.
