I'm 90% sure we could get 96 orc groups out of this.Gruum-blood: Believe that Gruumsh was specifically of their tribe and they all share his blood specifically. Notoriously religious to the point other orcs think they're going a bit mad about it. Please also understand I had typed this while on a massive FFXIV kick and had just met the OronirBloodfinder: Believe the gods are distant and forlorn, and only by spilling blood can they be enpowered. Notoriously effective mercenaries as they believe the gods do not care where the blood comes from, merely that it is spilled in battle. Coincidentally possess some of the most skilled non-magical healers around simply due to what they have to go through, and their belief that using magic to heal should only be done in a dire emergency due to the tax it will take on the world as a whole.Ashblood: Semi-native to a volcanic region, their easy access to significant quantities of iron and stone has lead to them building significant fortifications and having a proud metalworking tradition. See also: Blackrock tribe from Warcraft for inspiration, but I imagined these guys having a bit of a farming bent to them as well due to the soil, though they'd moreso be more of a trading group in a dangerous enviromentBjorskin: A group that worships bears as living representations of Luthic, who they hold in higher respect than Gruumsh. Those who turn into were-bears are considered equally sacred to the tribe, even if not orc. Mucking about with animal inspirations for orcs along with giving viable reasons to hang out with them, like "Oh, naughty word, you've got infected by a werebear! This group of orcs knows more about it than anyone"Wafnar: Home to northern regions, these orcs live alongside giant frost wolves and have developed a strong connection with them. They move along with their preferred prey, wolf and orc supporting one another to eak out an existence in their harsh land. oops I accidentally Warcrafted again, though I was also gonna link this one with that one random group of elves who can turn into wolves for an idea of "Hey, orcs and elves that actually slightly get along"Mistfang: Firm believers in the spirit world and ancestor worship, they are a rarely seen tribe with the exception of their notorious militant nature against necromancers. Some say the spirits of other beings, not just orcs, come to plead for the Mistfang to handle necromancers, and their mist-emitting lanterns are a symbol recognised by most clerical orders as forces well prepared to face the undead. This one I think has the most promise out of the lot</blockquote>
