Orcs are quick to categorize their environment in accordance to status. This may cause trouble when they are confronted with cultures that measure status differently. A race is judged by its capacity to demonstrate strength, determination and leadership. Races that lack these qualities should at least be able to submit themselves to authority.

The Kharbesh orcs see few races as their allies, but have been known to carry trolls in their ranks. The trolls are admired for their size and brute strength, but they are said to have demanding eating habits and rash minds that sometimes act on their own. The troll shamans are often feared and respected for their mystical relationship with spirits.

Orcs recall the ancient wars against elves and dwarves, and their regard for the two races is still laced with venom and fire. However, the Ograkk and Kharbesh orcs have in recent centuries occupied themselves with other enemies, namely humans. The Ograkk orcs have waged war with the northern Isenvor humans, and the Kharbesh orcs have sporadically fought the humans of the Odar Fields. The humans are said to have weak flesh and bones, but impressive battle tactics.

The Arwondel orcs, once brought to the region as slaves, now have little in common with the orcs of Kharbesh and Ograkk. Their sense of tribal belonging and need for hierarchal structure lives on, but they have abandoned many of their old traditions in favor of human culture. The Kharbesh and Ograkk orcs equally regard the ways of the Arwondel orcs as foreign.
