    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
    The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

    “They call us barbarians because we are brave in war and we laugh at hardship. But we have earned our citizenship by service in the legions, and we are as civilized as any race. We make the finest weapons and armor in the world, and our warriors are the bravest and toughest in Tamriel.”

Why is It then that their god litterally preaches honor in combat and such? The only reason the orcs haven't kept Orsinium as a kingdom set in stone as other races is because they are widespread across the continent. And still, they managed to make their mark in Tamriel just as the Nords, Redguards, Imperials And Elves! I constantly see you commenting here saying that "oRcS aRe ShIt" but never have you stated a good argument. No one denies they raid villages, nor that they are more savage than the others, but if anyone here is "shit" friend, it's you!

    After watching this - the orcs and their tribal strongholds make soo much sense now. Think about it -
    Imagine a race of warriors who are very infamous and said warriors are daedra worshippers and they breed at exponential rates like goblins. So of course people (out of paranoia, fear, or extreme prejudice. Maybe even all 3) would run them out when there's too many of them gathering all in one spot. This explains why the strongholds of Skyrim are all in 4 different corners of skyrim. "But what about the fact that they breed like rabbits/goblins?" And thats why the chieftain is the only one who gets to marry. So as to keep the numbers in check and not allow overpopulation - which would lead to not only more attention from holds, but also more consumption of limited resources. And the chieftain being the strongest in not only physical might but character and ability to lead is beneficial for the tribes wellbeing in terms of external and internal threats such as war and infighting. And then there's this theory of theirs that the chieftains supreme strength will get passed on to the next generation, so they plan to make up for what they lack in quantity with quality. Then there's this legit *Duty* that if an orc chieftain is old, he must be overthrown immediately. Why? - orcs are focusing on survival, it'd be pretty counter productive if the chieftain isn't fit to lead. Orcs are the best warriors in Tamriel.

      It's no theory that is how evolution works... Orcish culture As brutal as it is, it Is perfectly Designed to amplify evolution!!! Making it work faster and more efficiently!!! This explains why the orcs are so strong within the context of the lore!!! (In universe they're stronger than they are in the games) Orcs are strong because they Breeded out there ABILITY to be weak!!! Then when DNA inevitably makes a mistake and a orc is born weak He doesn't survive... When dna makes a mistake and a orc is born stronger Then normal they will quickly become chieftain and that mistake will become standardized Among the stronghold!!! And because orc strongholds Trade women to prevent inbreeding... It will become Standardized among the orcs in general!!!

    My character backstory
    Ugh-Lyn Bautista (homage to dave Bautista, actor for drax. Who inspired me to take up lifting when he was a wrestler and very much shaped my character as a result.)
    An orc charged with immortality until his death in battle. Or until he overcomes his greatest challenge. His father, and his grandfather both died trying to lift the curse, but none has defeated the orc favoured in valor.
    (think kratos, but an orc)
    Ironically his story/character is very similar in oblivion he was ruthless and brutish right up to the end of the main quest when he lost many dear friends, and eventually saved the world.
    Skyrim, he’s much more stoic, and wise. Even taking on children, the boy from morthal and the girl from whiterun.
    He becomes leader of the companions, slayer of the vampire menace, alduin, and miraak.
    Now on to his next journey in TESO6. His family, (aela, kids, lydia, many dear companions) all dead from age. He longs to be with them again. So, he searches to either overcome his greatest challenge, or find himself a good death.
    And will happily slaughter many thalmor along the way 😋

    Orzon of the high wind stood motionless as the clansman berated him before the others. He took the jibes. He took the scalding. At his opponent's height he stared forward. His opponent became furious. Orzon continued to gaze forward. Eventually, Orzon thrust forward an arm. Extended, a dagger of Orichalcum was placed and he waited. His foe grinned at his hubris and demanded a Halberd of the same material. "A fight? Fool." As his foe waited. The Clan cheif leaned into Orzon's ear, but before he uttered a word, Orzon of the Highwind gave a swift flick and his opponent's head slid off of his body.
    That day the New Orsinium was born.
    "No longer shall we sit by and suffer the slander and disregard" Orzon addressed the crowd.
    "no longer do we fight amongst ourselves." He regarded his opponents corpse.
    "Today we take the initiative. Today we become a unified people. Orsinium is not a refuge of place, but in our hearts. TODAY we mark our destiny on Tamriel"
    As sea of onlookers at first shocked were now chanting.
    Orzon thrust the dagger into his Chamberlines arms.
    "Hammerfell. What news?" Orzon demanded.
    "You didn't challenge him"
    "I did. I called for a dagger. He wasted time. News Hammerfell"
    The sound of the crowd seemed to asuade the Chamberline's doubts.
    "They haven't responded. Yet."
    Orzon had a glint in his eye.
    "Then we must change that."

    Orc culture leaves many questions. 2 big ones. 1; when the son defeats the father, what happens to his blood mother? With animal husbandry we know line breeding can actually make offspring stronger, and this would please Malacath, but direct inbreeding can severely weaken offspring, offending their God. So it is reasonable he would marry is fathers wives but not his mother. 2; wouldn't it be understandable with their way of life, their would be half-orcs? Males strong yet unable to become chief may consider marrying a worthy Nord or Redguard makes sense. I am sure there should be more half-orcs than Bretons. Although, their lifestyle does explain why Orc bandits seem quite weak.

      In the elder scrolls lore the race of the mother is dominant, so in a situation where a male orc would have a child with a Nord or Redguard woman the child will be either a Nord or Redguard with slight hints of their Orcish ancestry. Kind of like Bretons they look like humans except that some have slight points in their ears, have higher cheekbones and are frail in appearance. I think it kind of sucks but that's just the way it is in the ES lore.

    I've never had a problem with the Orcs; treat them decently and they'll return that every time.

    How does it work when an Orc or a High Elf worships Trinimac? Is their a deity called Trinimac who exists? Or does Malacath just appear as Trinimac in front of those who worship him as Trinimac and appear as Malacath to those who worship him as Malacath?

    Ive been playing d&d and ive noticed one big difference between skyrim and d&d.
    Races in skyrim: the only thing you can be is whatever vicious stereotype your race is stamped with
    Races in d&d: yeah but they arent all like that though you can do whatever.
    Example: orcs in skyrim are like “rrrr”. And orcs in d&d are like “rrrrr i love my mom dont talk about my mom rrrr”

      Notsure skyrim pretty much played with that stereotype though, you had a terrible orc bard, an amazing orc chef, a learned orc librarian, a hidden orc mage enemy, it was only really in the strongholds that you saw the stereotype.
