Orc

Orcs are a rare race of gruff, terse humanoids who were once numerous on Golarion before The Gap. At some point before the Gap, it became common for Orcs to worship Torag, the Dwarves' ancestral god, which served to unite the dwarven and orc peoples into a shared culture. But the tale is that many orcs vanished when they were called upon by Torag to help him vanquish a terrible foe or complete a final trial.

Apostae Orcs

Today, many orcs live on Apostae as they arrived alongside the Azrinaran elves during their escape from Golarion during the Gap. Many of them delve into Apostae's tunnels for ancient alien technology, often in corporate servitude, paying off debts incurred by ancestors.

Marixah Orcs

Beyond those who hail from lost Golarion are orcs from the planet Marixah of the Marixah Republic. Many of these orcs today grew up during its cold war with the Gideron Authority. They trained since birth, preparing for the war they were anticipating for decades.

Tabori Orcs

There is also a decent population of Orcs inside the Tabori Cluster where modern tech doesn't function. They learn to navigate and survive using technology many would consider antiquated.

Orcs Raised Among Dwarves

Other orcs are now raised among dwarf communities, and believe their ancestors walk with Torag among the stars. They are fully integrated into dwarven culture after all this time.

Students of Creation

Some orcs with a strong spiritual connection with Torag believe that they were left in the universe to help build. They didn't grow up among dwarves or azrinarans, but instead are wanderers who help people in need rebuild. People look to these Students of Creation as a symbol of hope, and for assistance in putting things back together after wars and disasters.

Dromaar

Also known as half-orcs, descended from orcs and other humanoids, often Humans, are more common than full blooded orcs in some parts of the Golarion System.
