The Groenororn Hordh

The Groenororn-hordh (Fire-glare tribe) was once a powerful tribe of relatively civilized orcs. The tribe merged with the former Ochaboedhgrad-hordh (Red-shadow tribe) of northern Sáregris under the leadership of Lord Glornagh. The Ochaboedhgrad joined the Groenororn as allies to raid a large trading outpost named Tayoun established by westerners of Karalon, and largely populated by allied tribes of native humans. The orcish tribes’ numerous giants and considerable numbers made a mockery of the port’s defenses and the humans were massacred wholesale. Since that time the orcs refortified the city under the name Dachoen and took on many of the aspects of life of those they conquered. The Ludimarite war machine envied the orcs their control of Dachoen and besieged it in order to gain fortifications closer to the volcano Garil. As a result of this, and a subsequent losses during battle for the nearer town of Cormuk, the orcs of the Groenororn-hordh have been decimated and forced back into their former nomadic way of life. Despite their recent setbacks the tribe remains a power on the island of Sarthorn and has a long proud history.
