==Orbog==

[[Summary::Orbogs are also known as marsh orcs, swamp orcs or mud orcs (almost all these names are derogatory), but they call themselves Children of Yurtrus. They are stantiated in bogs and heavily swampy areas, almost untouched by other races.]]

===Personality===

Compared to other orcs, orbogs are quiet and reserved, often losing themselves when speaking or thinking. They are not, however, more gentle or kind: they are violent and cruel when the need arises, but, given time, prefer to resolve problems with treachery or playing the waiting game, similarly to a disease.

Because of this, populations that underestimate them end finished by a silent and steady illness, usually spread by orbogs shamans.

They are dangerous not because of intrinsic evil but because their way of living makes them as such. They believe themselves to have been made by Yurtrus himself, in one of his rare moments of outward expression. They are probably regular orcs forced by chance to live in the swamps and adapted to that life, maybe even with a bit of divine aid.

They have asocial and serious personalities, not caring much for beauty and fun. They prefer to contemplate silently, thinking about life and death, remaining alone or with silent companions.

Female orbogs tend to learn martial traditions and be fighters, while males become most often clerics.

Orbogs outside of their communities may be welcomed as alienated outsiders, thus leading them down a path of crime.

===Physical Description===

Their countenance is repugnant at best: they are not very tall, tipically fat and covered in slimy mucus. Their skin goes from pale yellow to grey, and is covered in bumps. Some of them are white and are held as magical and blessed orcs. They have almost no hair, usually only females do, but not often. They dress with rags and clothes made of animal parts, such as fur, bones or chitin.

They have slightly webbed fingers on hands and feet and a porcine tail. Their eyes are black, red or sickly green. They often have survived maladies and the ailments' marks are visible on their bodies. They have black nails.

They don't have tusks but a myriad of small, pointy teeth.

Other than these features they are similar to typical orcs, albeit smaller in height, but not size.

===Relations===

Orbogs are very isolated but many interactions with other races usually end in conflict. This is not always the case, as sometimes neighbours that know them well come to ask assistance with plagues and vermins, given their vast knowledge on the argument.

This function as expert healers exists also between them and other orc tribes.

===Alignment===

As for most orcs, chaotic and evil are prevalent alignments, but a notable number of orbogs are neutral (often neutral evil).

===Lands===

The most sickly and diseased terrains are home for the orbogs. They often live in swamps but any environment that is foul in nature suits them. They do this as an offering to Yurtrus and to avoid unneeded confrontation.

===Religion===

Orbogs are deeply religious: they venerate Yurtrus, the deity of diseases and death, above all orc deities, both for fear and out of respect, claiming he was their creator. Their clerics are called the white hands. The clergy holds positions of power among them and almost all acolytes of Yutrus in tribes of other orcs are mud orcs.

Their rituals are gruesome and terrible, often including making the victim suffer for a long time, through the use of diseases, poisons and healing magic.

Orbog clerics often have the Corruption, [[SRD:Death Domain|Death]], [[SRD:Destruction Domain|Destruction]], [[SRD:Evil Domain|Evil]], Orc, Suffering or Wrath domains.

Some communities have shifted their religious focus to something more nature-centered, breeding druids instead of clerics.

===Language===

They speak standard Orc, but have invented a lot of terminology that involves disease and health. They sometimes learn Draconic, as they are often in conflict with black dragons or ally with them.

===Names===

As per the naming convention of orcs, often including the marsh name or tribe name from which the orc comes. They prefer names that sounds mumbled and munched (or maybe it's their pronunciation that slobbers the words).
