Before Dragon Break (End of Daggerfall) Orcs are monsters

After Dragon Break, Orcs are now a player race.

Lore > game description.

Lore says Orcs have Elven blood but everyone treats them like beast folks and other Elves view them as disgrace.

Your argument and this conversation in general is irrelevant because the topic asks how old some characters are and if Elves only lives up to 300 to 400 years old.

The answer base on Lore: Mer are generally known for their long lifespan, roughly 2 to 3 times longer lives than Man, average Mer citizens are only view as old if they have lived for over 2 centuries. That is pretty old.

In addition, those very gifted in magic or alchemy or blessed by Gods can live for seemingly forever without any side effects. Being a playable race does not mean they are any less of a beast.

Except like the ingame descriptions and various other sources... In fact, the sources stating they are beast outnumber the ones saying they are Elf... And amongst those sources are ingame descriptions, which are, by all means, canon.

Your lore answer is correct though.
