Halv-Orcen

Halv’Orcen, or The Honorless, are those goblins who have been excommunicated by the Eight Great Houses and the Eternal Emperor from the Sha’Zin society. To become Halv’orcen, is a fate seen worse than death. A goblin who is found guilty of cowardice, dishonor or dishonoring Sha’Zin society as a whole, can be excommunicated. The rite is rare, because if any goblin is found guilty, their entire House is brought low, the dishonor so unbearable many wipe the name of that goblin from their history.

A Halv’orcen can also be the child produced from a union of a hobgoblin or bugbear with a human. These offspring are typically slain if possible, but some do survive.
