I 'd like to ask something 'cause I'm confused about the orc race. The orcs are a beast race or the Orsimer elves which were transfomed together with Trinimac by Boemiah curse?

I'd like to know which is the final truth

Thank you!!!

The latter is true, the former is propaganda by the Empire.

So Orcs are Elves

The pityful elves who live under the curse of centuries...
What a romantic story...

If you want an interesting view of the history of Orcs, download Objects of Tamriel, and read "The True Folk". It is a reaction to "The Pig Children". Basically, it is written by an Orc, glorifying their fall from grace, making them seem like the greatest race of all. The truth, as usual, is somewhere between the two book's views.

I wrote that thing, and it took me a half hour to track down where I hid it on my computer.

And the author is actually a Redguard who sees honor in the Orcs continued loyalty to Malacath in spite of the hardships that faith has forced them to endure. I'm surprised that someone actually remembered it, though.
