Bloodthirsty marauders and cannibals, orcs venerate Gruumsh and thereby delight in slaughter and destruction.  Orcs don’t build settlements of their own, instead improv-ing existing shelters with crude fortifications. They prefer to settle in natural caves or structures abandoned by other, more skillful races. Orcs can manage simple ironwork and stone-work, but they are lazy and grasping, preferring to take by force the tools, weapons, and goods other folk make.DC 20: Orcs band together into loose tribal associations. The strongest individual in a tribe leads as a despotic chief-tain. Individual bands within a tribe might wander far from their native lands, but they still recognize orcs from the same tribe as kin.DC 25: Orcs often demonstrate their faith in Gruumsh by gouging out one of their eyes and offering it as a sacrifice to their one-eyed god.  According to myth, Corellon shot out Gruumsh’s eye with an arrow. For this reason, orcs hold a special hatred for elves and eladrin.Encounter GroupsOrc tribes use ogres and trolls as muscle for war and labor.
