INTRODUCTION
The Orc Raiders have even more enthusiasm than the Iron Dwarves when it comes to exploring, or rather raiding, in The Uncharted Seas. The aggressive advance of the Orc Raiders into The Darnak Cluster is led by the Orcs of Grothgarda Tribe, and their Chieftain King Lothar. This is the current dominant tribe in the Orc world – but this could change as infighting is commonplace!

The Grothgarda forges produce the majority of Orc war vessels, and are responsible for the overall design of mighty warships that strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. They are the only forges in the Orc lands capable of casting the massive bronze cannons and iron armour plates, which they transport to The Darnak Cluster to supply the shipwrights there.

King Lothar keeps a firm hand on the production of warships and their sale to his tribes, and ensures that his fleet captains are at least adventurous and inquisitive, even if he cannot appoint intelligent captains instead. He technically has dominion over all Orcs, but the lesser tribes usually follow their own limited agendas, and The Uncharted Seas is so far away that even his warlords sometimes forget the orders that he sends to them.

RAIDING FLEETS
The Grothgarda Tribe have been expanding westerly and have now established strongholds north of The Thousand Islands, including the city isle of Trevesk. In this area they have subdued the indigenous Kreel and Helganth warriors that lived in The Darnak Cluster, but have faced much harder battles when they encountered Bandits of the Thousand Isles.

The Orcs have had minimal contact with the Dragon Lords and Shroud Mages to date, but on each occasion it has resulted in a major battle. The raiding nature of the Orcs has saw their fleets venture far and wide across the Broad Blue, and has led to a state of war with most races, both old and new, but current major conflicts exist between Thaniras Elves, Bone Griffins and Vyrdam Humans.

Orcs have no love for the Imperial Navy or the Iron Dwarves, but current conflicts with these races are limited.

SAVAGE INTENT
King Lothar has tasked his commanders with winning more land and bringing back more resources. Back in the Old World the Orcs are mounting a major offensive and the more metals that can be sent back to forge weapons with the better. Slaves are also high on the list of acquisitions and male Kreel are deemed to be of high value, both in The Uncharted Seas and back in the Old World.
