Orcs can be diverted on color of their skin and where they live as Greyskins living closer to colder regions, Sandskins inhabiting deserts and hotter climates and Greenskins, the most populous and being basically everywhere. Like any other orc, Durak was always close to nature and was rather skilled in herbalism, so he knows a lot about mending wounds and healing illnesses, so it makes sense that he excelled in "formal" education. That's why when Durak finished his "education" and his curiosity about the world brought him to merchant ships, he was very sought after. During one of his travels, Durak had to treat a dwarf from one of the high-ranking clans. The dwarf then gave him a pendant made out of platinum bearing the warding runes as a symbol of gratitude, which Durak views as a sort of forgiveness and hope for a brighter future.

The Orcs have changed significantly during the last 50 years. They lost the Orcish-Dwarven War back then. Orcs were more or less neutral and valued honor, the majority living like nomads and traveling from hunting grounds to hunting grounds since their soil isn't really fertile, but occasional pillage of neighboring kingdoms by Greenskins left bad taste in the mouth of other kingdoms, and looked at more "civil" Greyskins and Sandskins with side eye. Then one Greyskin, Gortok, rallied orcs in Irdi to let him tell the high chief of orcs that they had enough and should get more soil. Then the orcs attacked nearby dwarven settlement and started the bloodshed with Gortok in the lead, and earning him moniker "Gortok the Ironfist", thus securing him as an important chief. Some time after, Gortok was slain by the dwarf, and ending the war soon after. The punishment for the orcs was hard, and dwarfs directly influenced the next development. Now, orcs are still neutral, just like back then, but more "civil", like Greyskins and Sandskins, and being very good healers since their skill with herbalism and experience with diseases is unparalleled, making them good allies. However, Durak's great uncle was the infamous Gortok, and Durak's father, serving as a soldier, was killed in the Orcish-Dwarven War when Durak was newborn, so of course, Durak's whole family faced the consequences as the warmonger's potentional heirs.

Durak visited Gliamore many times, as Gliamore has a harbor, making it an important place for trade routes, and met many races and people, but there's always more to explore and discover in this city.

Durak is a complex individual, a member of society that was labeled as pillagers due to certain individuals actions that ended the whole race being viewed as violent pillagers in the past. And on top of that, among being part of warmonger race, bearing the sins of anccestors in his family. Nowadays, orcs are valued as good allies, exceptional healers and being honorable, like they had been before. Durak wants to be remembered as a gentle giant of the selfless healer and the very best of surgeon on land and sea, not as a descendant of Gortok the Ironfist.
