There would be few living groups in faerun that hate orcs more than the Uthgardt tribes.
Yet i have seen reference to Half-orc uthgardts around the place. Now i cant remember this being canon or not.
I would have thought a half-orc child born to a raped uthgardt woman may be put to death, and no sane barbarian male would mate with a orc female and have her live with a tribe....
Also for how a chief and tribe would respond to any half-orc that came to their encampment. How would you play the tribes reaction?

Better still, he was canon before I decided to use him: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/cc/20010629a . But these are the Tree Ghosts and they are the most atypical tribe.
I definitely do present a half-orc Uthgardt as being something very rare, if not outright unthinkable. I'd tend to agree with the situations you present, dorn, but how about adoption into the tribe, as was Rask Urgek's situation? Uthgardt, I feel, are gruffly tolerant in their way, and if a half-orc were to demonstrate to them that he'd risen above his racial heritage they'd contemplate admitting him on the strength of his character. |

Son of Thunder novel has a half-orc. :) So, yes it's canon. |
