The orc mentality views aggression as the natural order. They believe that other races are inferior to them, and bully weaker creatures. Enslaved orcs will rebel at the first opportunity. When allied with others, orcs are quick to take offense and break agreements.
To orcs, the greatest challenge they can set for themselves is the test of battle. They increase their status by challenging and besting their superiors; however, the duel is not always to the death. They value territory above all else, though they also take great pride in battle experience and prowess, wealth and lots of offspring. Orc society is male dominated; females exist to bear young. The exception is that female priestesses can rise high in an orc society, usually though fear and intimidation. Though carnivorous, orcs prefer game meats or livestock to intelligent races.
