In the Feywild, the best way for a small creature to
survive is to be overlooked. While suffering in servitude
to the fomorian tyrants of the Feydark, gnomes
learned to hide, to mislead, and to deflect?and by
these means, to survive. The same talents sustain
them still, allowing them to prosper in a world filled
with creatures much larger and far more dangerous
than they are.

? to rely more on stealth and deception than on
brute strength and intimidation.

life as a grand competition. Their scattered bands
have never been major players in the politics of the
lowland world, but they have wandered the mountain
ranges of the world since the primordials first

revere the primal power of nature and use it to
enhance their own strength.

An obscure legend claims that when Corellon put out
Gruumsh?s eye in a primeval battle, part of the savage
god?s essence fell to earth, where it transformed a
race of humans into fierce half-orcs. Another story
suggests that an ancient hobgoblin empire created
half-orcs to lead orc tribes on the empire?s behalf. Yet
another legend claims that a tribe of brutal human
barbarians chose to breed with orcs to strengthen
their bloodline. Some say that Kord created half-orcs,
copying the best elements from the human and orc
races to make a strong and fierce people after his own
heart. If you ask a half-orc about his origin, you might
hear one of these stories. You might also get a punch
in the face for asking such a rude question.
Play a half-orc if you want . . .
? to be big, strong, and fast.
? to harness anger into resilience and combat power.
? to be a member of a race that favors the barbarian,
fighter, ranger, and rogue classes.[/spoiler]
