Pedresco

Pedresco orcs are by far the most common, and their features a bit closer to humans, with smaller tusks and gentler brows. Other Berans, as well as de Guerra orcs, used to use the slur ‘half-orc’ to insult the Pedresco orcs, and indeed the term might have some truth to it, as these lowland orcs were more likely to integrate with humans and perhaps even some elves. But after the founder of Ber, Vairday Bruse, hailed from among the Pedresco, the label has taken on a complicated role in orcish culture, co-opted to imply that the ‘other half’ is Beran, a national identity rather than a racial one. 

Today Berans of all heritages are drawn to the example of their nation’s founder: confident and powerful civility, with a humility that respects that others might have wisdom you lack, and an unrelenting refusal to give in to tyranny.
