Anak is an edit from the base RPG Maker VX Ace orc graphics, I believe, much like Orcent. But hey, Yarra was originally an unedited elf.

And if you can't trust Balia to know orcs, who can you trust? I mean, it's not like Zirantians (or any other race) are more fit for doing that either. True, we've seen a Zirantian and an elf able to walk the Tower without a shard, as well as a human. If it's possible for an orc like Stark to be born with supernatural regeneration properties that surpass those of any other race, why not a Tower-walking orc? Or an orc that at least has the capability to survive an accidental trip to the Tower that somehow imbues them with the kind of transcendental understanding Xerces seems to express? It's mentioned rather often that the Tower changes you.
