HALF-0RCS OF KHORVAIRE
With the rise of the dragonmarked House Tharashk,
ores and half-ores have spread through the Five Nations
and beyond. In general, the people of the Five Nations
know little about half-ores. When people imagine a half
orc, they usually think of a Tharashk bounty hunter or
dogged inquisitive, but a few ignorant sorts might still
hold the stereotype of a "simpleton from the swamps."
HALF-0RCS AND DRAGONMARKS
The Mark of Finding appears among half-ores of House
Tharashk. Strangely, both ores and humans associated
with the house cannot develop this mark. As a result,
dragonmarked half-ores work extensively with humans,
ores, and unmarked half-ores in pursuit of the house's
mission of bounty hunting, inquisitive work, and pros
pecting. Across Khorvaire, anyone who wants to find
something or someone turns to House Tharashk.
