{{FRWiki|Orc|Orcs}} first came to the planet of Toril as a result of one of {{FRWiki|Lolth|Lolth's}} plots to kill {{FRWiki|Corellon}} as described in the [[Guide:Baldur's_Gate_3_Races_Guide#Drow|Drow Lore]] section. One of the gods who Lolth tricked into fighting the Seldarine was {{FRWiki|Gruumsh}}, patron god of orcs who brought a horde of orc with him. Upon Gruumsh's defeat many orcs would be left behind in Faerun and more orcs crossed into Faerun via other methods. For tens of thousands of years orcs were isolated savages which posed no major threat to civilized races. However around -3,600 DR (about 5,000 years before BG3) orcs began to band together and raid civilized lands in massive hordes. And in fact this is how most orcs to this day still behave. They are typically violent, selfish, short tempered creatures.
