What sort of checks could we use here?
Not getting information is never fun, so I'll never require a roll to get information like this, especially when it is information that I don't yet know. :-)

I'm throwing a history check in here if Calvas remembers something about the last time when orc's where seen...
Since you actually posted IC, you get to write this part. I established....
-Pureblood Orcs are a surprising and cool thing to find evidence of.
-Everyone has heard stories about them.
-As far as anyone knows, Orcs died out "ages ago" (a hundred years ago).
-They are believed to have died out in the "final wars" that led to the age of peace we are in now.
Calvas remembers the last war that Orcs were seen in. What was the war? Where they the good guys, bad guys, or something else? How did they all die out as a result of that war? Just a short paragraph will do.
