Smithing[]

Main article: Smithing (Skyrim)

With the Orcish Smithing perk, Orcish Weapons may be crafted at any forge using the Smithing skill and the necessary materials. Orcish Weapons are made from iron ingots and orichalcum ingots. All items also require leather strips, except the Orcish Bow and Arrows. Orcish weapons are considerably weaker than dwarven weapons, despite its perk being higher up on the skill tree. However, the armor is much stronger.
