Orsimer, also known as Orcs, are a race of Mer that hail from Orsinium. They are best recognized by their dark green skin and large build. They are one of the playable races in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind that was not available in previous games.

In-game description[]

These sophisticated barbarian beast peoples of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains are noted for their unshakeable courage in war and their unflinching endurance of hardships. In the past, Orcs have been widely feared and hated by the other nations and races of Tamriel, but they have slowly won acceptance in the Empire, in particular for their distinguished service in the Emperor's Legions. Orcish armorers are prized for their craftsmanship, and Orc warriors in heavy armor are among the finest front-line troops in the Empire. Most Imperial citizens regard Orc society as rough and cruel, but there is much to admire in their fierce tribal loyalties and generous equality of rank and respect among the sexes.

Strategy[]

Orsimer start off with fairly decent defensive skills, so it is easier to become a warrior or barbarian, a bit similar to Nords. Orcs average at the lowest personality of all races, while excelling in Strength, Endurance and Willpower.
