Blackgrass Orc Tribe

A nomadic Orc tribe in the Dark Hills.

Consisting of 4-8 small out-camps of about 20-60 orcs, which surround the main camp like spokes around a hub.

Each out-camp typically has an elder although populations are often in a state of slow/loose flux as orcs come and go from the main camp nightly.

The main camp also relocates occasionally to support border skirmishes, move to resources, etc.

One elder is Ahklach, the keeper of the skull, who appears in Blackgrass Raiders.

This tribe often participates in blood-trades, where the tribe will conduct a diplomatic exchange of important youth to signify peace and "brotherhood" among tribes. The exchanged are typically "noble" youth, often sons of chieftains, sent to prove their manhood and right to rule, not only for their own tribes, but also to impress host tribes.
