 ===== Estimated Population Size and Spread =====
+Only a rough estimate is available due to the scattered nature of the Orcish populace, but it is thought that at least 10,000 Orcs reside within the empire. They are found mostly in [[wiki:realms:minerva|Minerva]], Pia Xao, and Casadia.
 ===== Appearance =====
+Orcs tend to be nearly a head taller than humans on average and have a much thicker build. Some Orcs have long, patchy black hair, while others are entirely bald. Orcs have green or gray skin of varying shades. In terms of facial features, they have pointed ears similar to those of elves, and some of large front teeth that protrude from their lower jaw.
 ===== Particularities =====
+Orcs are naturally predisposed to chaos and violence, which has led many to demonize them. For hundreds of years, they were a constant enemy to realms throughout the empire. After the Unraveling, however, there has been a trend among Orcish communities to embrace peace instead of chaos. Some Orcs, like Caesar of Yerk in Minerva, have risen to have a place in the nobility of the empire. After resettling in Casadia, the Orcs of Pia Xao have come to embrace the more orderly and peaceful lifestyle offered by the [[wiki:religions:thepath|Path of the Unburnt]].
+Orcs tend to live in smaller communities and exhibit strong tribal behavior. They do not have much love for bloodlines, and instead follow strength above all else. Orcs are not known for their love of sciences or fine arts, but there are certain communities of Orcs that have great skill in metallurgy and smithing.
