With the
new ruling on playable orcs, I'd like to share an interesting video or two with anyone looking to make a greenskin.
Keeping Orcs FreshHalf-Orcs(5E)Web DM consistently has awesome and insightful stuff on roleplay ideas and worldbuilding and these two videos are no exception. Some of the mechanical stuff they discuss is 5E, but the ideas about lore translate just fine.
Specifically for the 3E FR setting, I'd encourage prospective players to check out the
Races of Faerun entries on Mountain and Gray orcs. There's also the kingdom of Obould Many-Arrows(though I think in Amian reckoning it's called Dark Arrows?) to read up on if you're looking for more... civilized orcs, inasmuch as they can be. Additionally, if any DM has any lore they could share about our Amia-specific tribes and subtypes(Bloodmoon, Brogedenstein, Wolfpelt) that might be helpful too.
