Orcs

Orcs are savage native inhabitants of North America. Though they originally come from the swamps around Florida, they have since dispersed all along the Americas. They are filled with bloodlust and will mercilessly attack any who come near their territories. Orcs long warred against the elves, only interrupted by the arrival of European settlers. Though mostly forced out of their ancestral homes, they still pose a threat to the frontiers of America. They can typically be found dwelling in caves and canyons far from human settlements, but their wide-ranging raids can strike without warning. The U.S. government has had a hard time fighting against such savagery, and if the orcs and elves decided to ally, the problem would have been insurmountable in the early colonization efforts of North America.
