Racial Traits

• +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, -2 Wisdom, -2 Constitution: They inherited the strength and wild nature of the orc, while inheriting from the elves their finesse and slender built.
• Humanoid(Orc, Elf): A group of elves and a group of orcs were exiled in the desert around Vaniar with interdiction to enter a perimeter of 500 ft around the city without being killed. At first the elves and the orcs kept to themselves, but the desert was an harsh environment where it was extremely difficult to survive, so they eventually joined forces. For a while they traveled and survived as a tribe but lived in different quarters, but soon the orcs and elves started to mingle and thrive in the desert, throwing feast and parties to their newfound freedom and the first union of an orc and an elf was commemorated the same day that they officially declared themselves as a tribe. Making this union the new symbol of their tribe, more and more unions between elves and orcs happened until the entire tribe was an homogenous half-orc half-elf race. Cast aside by the world, they develop on their own.
