[QUOTE="Neo, post: 1569808, member: 4139"] [b]OROG WARMAKER: [/b] Bred for war in the deeps of the earth the orogs are perhaps the most ferocious and capable of all the orcs. Descended from the Skullbiter orcs who were the first to invade the southern lands in –3605 they were eventually cut off between the Netherese and the Elves from any form of retreat except into a series of caverns, which led to the underdark. For several thousand year sthey have lived, prospered and developed as a species and a culture in those deep, dark places expanding through the caverns and tunnels, extinguishing or enslaving all who crossed their path until eventually in 900 DR with the fall of the Ascalhorn, Ammarindar and Earlann that they could once more return to the surface. When the orogs emerged they quickly subdued their weaker mountain orc cousins, most orogs however remain in the deeps. From among the Orogs many fine warriors have emerged and among them the elite warmakers are perhaps the most capable and feared. In groups the warmakers can run for many hours on end and then without a rest be ready for battle, which they undertake with overwhelming power, ferocity and cunning. The sight of a column of orogs led by a warmaker, all howling and banging their weapons on their shields has more than once been enough to cause an enemy to turn tail and flee without even a single blow being struck. If the orog war machine were a snake the warmakers would be its head and its fangs for sure.
