Most orcs are found in strongholds throughout Skyrim, though some are seen in major cities such as Morthal and Markarth.

What are Orcs?

The Orsimer is also known as Orcs. They are the indigenous inhabitants of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains. They might be elves or mer. According to lore, they are beasts. Following in the footsteps of Trinimac and Malacath, Orcs have continuously held a standard as strong warriors and smiths.

Where are Orcs found mostly?

Most orcs are located in strongholds across Skyrim, while some may be found in big towns like Morthal and Markarth. The Dragonborn may enter but cannot communicate with the Orcs. When you go close to an Orcish Stronghold, a guard will warn you to keep away. You are permitted to enter the fortress, but the Orcs despise it, making dialogue difficult until you complete the assignment given to you by the guard. There will, however, be a required mission if you are an Orc and a vampire. Orc strongholds often feature a mine and blacksmith tools that may be used regardless of whether the quest is finished.

Do Orcs have special abilities?

Orcs have Mer blood surging through their veins. They are excellent warriors who have immense brute strength. Orcs have the warrior constellation, so they aren’t cunning, agile, or do magic like the rest of the Mer. Orcs have a dangerous unique ability called Berserker Rage that can be used only once daily. This allows you to take half damage and double damage for a minute. However, this excludes any damage dealt by spells. Any physical damage will trigger this ability. While Berserker Rage is active, the screen turns red and a little blurry while the sound dulls a bit.
