Ugly Half-Orc Backstory

[Fallen Seraph]

An interesting answer to the usual "IF the PCs kill all the war-like male orcs, and leave the female and young... what happens to them?"

I had in one setting actually a post-war game. Where the Orcs and other "monstrous races" won.

As such, many cities created huge orphanages for the now orphaned human children. One of the characters was one such child and as he grew up there he began to see through the propaganda humans had spread during the war about Orcs.

It was quite a fun setting actually having humans being a nearly wiped out, warrish and racist people. While Orcs, Trolls, Gnolls, Goblins, Hobgoblins, etc. were the civilized and industrious people (but still had their original traits in some form).
