The

The What is up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Fudge Muppet. My name is Scott and I'm here with Michael

Andrew, and today we are discussing the orcs and also Malacath and everything about them.

But since, if you actually checked out our previous podcast and we did favourite race,

orcs is Drew's favorite race.

So I'm going to let him take the reins and start us off.

What are orcs, Drew?

The or the Orsomer are the pariah folk.

They're the outcast, basically.

No one likes them.

They have to carve their own way.

They're big, they're strong, they're extremely ugly.

And pretty much the only way they can be accepted anywhere is if they're really good at stuff.

And luckily, they're really good at killing things and they're really good at making

armor. It's not easy being green. As I said in that early podcast, they're pretty much Shrek.

Yeah. Yeah, they're basically, they are Ls, which we'll get to as well. They've been mistakenly

associated with goblins, but understandably so.

And they have a lot of North Asian influences, though by Skyrim's time, they sort of made

Orkishama sort of a little bit like Urukai, Lord of the Rings kind of vibe stuff.

But yeah, and they also age the same as men.

And there's a neat little story behind that where the Nords ever said in their mythology to have lived as long as the elves did. But then this god called Orki, who was like another sort of version of Malacath, he came about.

And he said, he fooled them into a bargain that bound them to the count of winters.
