Also adding the fact that orcs are quick to anger and have an undying lust for blood means that they become an unstoppable rampaging killer. Orcs also breed alphas, this means orcs will grow; stronger, taller, faster, etc. eventually overpowering the nord race. (Population size set aside.)

Nords are still up there on the charts and still a personal favorite of mine, but fact are facts. Orcs aren't blood thirsty unless they are vampires (then in that case, quite literally), or are in a state of Berserker Rage. Still, their sheer size, mass, and general physical build, combined with their aptitude for combat, and the fact that they are generally taught to fight from birth (regardless of gender), means that the avarage orc is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the average nord.

Lets face it, if in real life, an average nord stood up to you (aka, a somewhat-buff midevil Swedish or Norwegian guy), you'd be somewhat intimidated. But if an Orc stood up to you... good luck mate (you'd have the sh!te scared out of you, am I right?).
