Hill Orc

The orcs of the hills and highlands are the most encountered and were the siege workhorse of the giant kingdoms. Hill orcs are the most prolific of the orc lineages and the origin of many of the sublineages. Their forts and settlements dot the landscape and while they can be mobile, they tended to stay in place as outposts to offer shelter and stocks for raiding parties that would operate in the area. These settlements also were where armies were drafted first when the war drums were sounded. After the sundering of Necessa many of the tribes were split up from each other and hunkered down during the chaos. After the world settled many drifted off to found new communities or rebuild what they have. They also found enlistment in the legions of Janus with the promise of battle and glory. Their newfound fellow legionnaires found the orcs to be fine and sturdy companions that have become indispensable.
Hill orcs are known for their green hue of skin and a variety of hair styles though they tend to prefer them short of shaved to avoid complications during battle. Those that aren’t combat oriented have found success in trade and scholarly arts. Hill orc physique tends to be sturdy and broad and muscular. It is rare to see an obese orc.
