    Literally not possible. No one would willingly have sex with an orc besides another orc, so the rape part will always be at least implied.

      Real life humans carry the genetic lineage of multiple nonhuman species inside of our own genome already, like Neanderthals and Denisovans. Neanderthals were barrel-chested manlets with goblin voices whose arms weren't designed right for throwing spears, and the Denisovans were... well, we don't really know because all we have to base their anatomy on are finger bones and jaws, but they had weird fricked up giant teeth for sure, and with the way their DNA is expressed in modern humans, there's reason to believe they were flat-skulled, hobbit-looking motherfrickers with childbearing hips.

        It's possible that denisovans were adapted to high altitude and those genes transferred to humans.
        Just googled it and found a study from 2021 that said it was still unclear sadly.
        The EPAS1 gene that is, but yeah it's unclear. Common among tibetans anyway.

        We also have some dna from ghost populations.
        From my understanding it happened in africa, but before people migrated out of africa, so it's something we all have and not just africans, but there might still be another ghost population of humans that interbred with africans after OoA migration.

      Had a similar idea with orcish hordes. See, orcs don't actually have a use for gold and israeliteels but know they can trade them with human farmers for food, leather, fabric, and occasionally iron. Sure, they could raid the farms but this way they can come back year after year for more food.

      So orks will travel long distances to raid cities and merchants but then return home to trade that wealth for bread, cotton, and salt with their neighbors.

    In a human kingdom that was a colony of another kingdom and needed more laborers than new colonists and nstural birth rates could support. Some smart gnomes found out you could purchase orc slaves to the south and brought them to the colony kingdom. Orcs were treated brutally, bred and beaten like livestock and worked 12 hours a day in the mines. Recently, a gnomish cabal has maneuvered the youngest female heir to power, and the last few decades have seen immense cultural changes. Worshippers of a goddess of equality and mercy have elevated orcs, now free, as demigod figures and it is considered both a privilege and an obligation to have an orc mate or let one rape your wife.

    You could look to systems of assimilation in historic warrior cultures.

    Orcs adopt orphans and POWs they make, just like Plains Indians. Taking people to replace people taken from you is an intuitive - to them - form of bloodprice.

    Orcs go on viking raids taking thralls from other peoples. Thralls are slaves but their children are free members of viking societies and can go on to be raiders too.

    The Overlord can't muster enough orcs to hold his borders so he has taken to conscripting other races. These acculturate into militaristic, imperialistic orc society.

    There's no way in hell local lordships and other jurisdictions wouldn't try to simply pay off the orc tribes to not raid them, and over time the established relations would lead to small numbers of orcs being part of the lordship's retinue. You get an orc who's the lord's loyal retainer, to help keep the other orcs and the neighbouring tribe in line, and after years of loyal service he's permitted to marry one of the lord's younger daughters, who's not needed for political marriage and would otherwise be sent to a cloister.

    Affair with a bodyguard/retainer. It happens now and has been happening since bodyguards/retainers/household-soldiers were a thing. Orcs (and half-orcs) being big & strong can make them good fighters and so bodyguard/retainer would be a common profession.

    I had a half-orc who was the acknowledged bastard of a Duke (like say IRL William the Conqueror) and brought up in his father's household as if he were a proper son. His mother had been one of the Duke's retainers and the Duke had taken succour in her arms after the original Duchess had passed away.

    His mother passed away when he was still very young, and when the Duke later remarried he was "encouraged" to seek fortune and adventure outside the Duchy. He still had good relations with his half-siblings and his father, but step-mom didn't really like having him around. He quests in the name of his father the Duke and helps spread the prestige & charm for his father's realm (which will one day be his half-brother's realm).

    A nobleman of a distant human Empire traveled to the backwater orc-laden butthole of the world through unfortunate circumstance, became embroiled in local politics to serve his own motives, quickly began to manipulate the local chieftains of the orc tribes and forge them into a brutal fighting force aimed to battle some vaguely-alluded threat of tentacles and horror, but one of the tribes was composed of run-away females and run by a female orc who demanded he breed one of her champions in order to win her allegiance in effectively-dissolving her own tribe through marriage to another chieftain.

    A settlement of human traders existed on the river within this orcish realm, a small settlement that quickly grew in size and scope, eventually becoming a massive trading hub at the center of the orc nation-state pledged in service to the human nobleman, who gradually expanded the reach of his power beyond the mountains and across the seas, the orc warriors his bloody right hand in conquest and in - generally benevolent, somewhat surprisingly - rule.

      As the settlement became a village became a city, a form of segregation imposed at the demand of the nobleman (who favored orcs and humans over half-orcs, for unknown reasons) - which some considered harsh - kept the human and orc populations separate and minimized cross-breeding. This was not entirely totalitarian however, and certainly not bereft of empathy, hence where such did occur, half-orc residents were recruited to special units for deployment into the world beyond, usually tasked with roles - such as combat leadership and administration, craftmanship and training - which required greater intellect than average orcs espouse.

      Over the decades and in the wake of the nobleman's rise to power, and the orc nation-state at his side - through deployment and the subsequent in-field mating behaviors of orc warriors afield - these half-orcs would in turn come to hold a favored role within the nobleman's network of contacts and allies, developing advanced naval technology and agriculture which could be exported back home, ruling over pocket kingdoms in far-off regions of the world, far from the orcish nation-state in which they were born, and leading their brethren in what would prove to be a campaign against a very real, very dangerous threat.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but Forgotten Realms did it right. There's human and orc tribes on the periphery of civilization that routinely intermarry for both political and romantic reasons. It's a brutal, hard land that produces brutal, hard people of both races who marry more for practical reasons than for looks (an Orc wife might be ugly as sin, but she can fight and work harder than any human female).
