Orcs were a strong race of shamanistic healers and alchemists who defended their territory fiercely. When lefein explorers and human and elven worshippers of Cardia encroached on orcish land, it led to conflict between the races, and eventually the orcs were driven to extinction during the First Age. Much of the orcish knowledge was lost save some snippets here and there, particularly alchemical formulae such as Godfire as well as orcs' contribution to the necromantic Totentanz and the bardic Lebenslied tomes.
