Orcs
Standing proud at eight feet, orcs tower over all the other races. Their large bodies might suggest immense strength, but anyone who has fought an orc knows otherwise. The orcs power comes not from their physical strength--which is pitiful and can be easily crushed by most any of the races--but by their extreme talent in magic. Orcs are able to either manipulate lightning and electricity or fire, lightning being the dominant gene among the orcs. A few exceptional orcs are able to command mastery over both elements and those that can do so generally become the head, or the Garum, of their tribe. At the age of 50, when their magical strength is decaying, typical orc tradition demands that the orc go on some suicide mission to show their great courage and honor and so die in a death fitting to an orc. Many of the orc tribes combined before the Great Upheaval to join Emperor Jaigran to exterminate the other races.
