Orcs (Daggerfall)

For Orcs in other entries of The Elder Scrolls, see Orsimer.

Orcs are both creatures and sentient characters in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. They are not a playable race, are considered creatures, and subject to considerable racism from the other denizens of the Iliac Bay.^[1]

Description[]

From a distance, an orc may resemble a large, squat, muscular man - before the tusks become evident, and the green skin and the piggish eyes are seen. Usually, when the viewer is that close to an Orc, he or she is not taking notes about the details. Orcs are among the most common encounters around Iliac Bay, particularly around the southern half of the Wrothgarian Mountains. They are a consistently savage group, ready for a fight no matter the odds. Some rather eccentric researchers have suggested that the Orcs have a culture as ancient and sophisticated as ours, and that their seeming mindless barbarity is somehow related to rites of passage or tests of courage. It is highly likely that these researchers have never felt the sting of an orc captain's barbed axe.^[2]
