In the mountains past the Bleakwood
Forest there are lots of greenskin people, like trolls, orcs, High Orcs (they're
taller and can talk) and goblins. They live in caves too and fight the dwarves
and get killed lots. High Orcs, like High Ogres, live a very short life. They
are an extremely tough race, with the attitude of "only the strong survive".
Thus, their infant mortality rate is very high, with perhaps two of every five
Orc children reaching the age of one. They reach their majority at age four. A
High Orc of age 15 would be considered both old and unusual; a High Orc of age
18 would be considered a sideshow attraction.
