Orcs

"I've always been fascinated with the origin theory for the orcs, or "tuskfolk." The idea that the Ancients created some sort of... living weapon? And that all modern orcs were descended from those creatures, is astounding. Imagine the possibility if the researchers of Aglington, or even Wizard Town could figure out how that was done. There would be no more need for soldiers, for actual people to give up their lives for the cause of their nation. Alas, they're more concerned with... synthesizing wyvern blood, or creating dragon-proof armor. Short-sighted fools."

-Patricia Morello, "On Ioglith and it's Many Facets of Civilization"
