Valcos have a nomadic culture and inhabit the greats plains of Arenas. They are a prosperous race that has faced
many difficulties. They do not have a drive to change their culture and become more sedentary, but those that
desire more tend to become adventurers. In the north valcos are often at odds with northerners and wolfen who
have been known to hunt and eat them. In the south they tend to face the same predation from kalrathi. For the
most part they get along well with elves, dovers, and dwarves. While they hold no animosity toward frey, hobbits and
gnomes, they tend to see them as weaker races. The cultures of valcos and orcs rarely overlap, but when they do
they tend to be bloody confrontations as the tribal nature of each tends to make diplomacy an afterthought. They
hate hill giants and will often form hunting groups to drive them from their region or to simply exterminate them. Hill
giants find valcos to be delicious. The don't come into contact with the other races on a regular enough basis to
form any universal opinions about them. For the most part valcos have the attitudes typical of a warrior culture and
share many similarities with northern humans and orcs cultures. They don't suffer from the same back stabbing and
coups that often plague orc society.
