In my homebrew, orcs are among the first of the sentient races, descended from a common ancestor with ogres, and developed an evolutionary split which resulted in humanity. The fall of their original mother civilization was due mainly to issues in the divine realm resulting in enormous environmental catastrophe, as well as a protracted war against a dwarven alliance. The fallout is that 'modern' orcs are tribal and nomadic on the PCs' current continent, and have a proscription against permanently inhabiting any settlements; they get around this with 'seasonal' settlements they use to winter.
