The Rokk Tribe
Known for their brutal force and unwavering determination, the Rokk Tribe is led by Thul-Rokk The Mighty, a towering warlord whose strength is matched only by his ambition. Thul-Rokk earned his title through countless victories on the battlefield, and his tribe values sheer physical power above all else. While Thul-Rokk's leadership has brought prosperity to his people, his aggressive vision for expansion and unification amongst orcs has earned him both admirers and enemies within the Alliance. His dream of uniting the clans under his rule is a constant source of tension—many fear his thirst for power may eventually tear the Alliance apart.
The Bonehowls
Fierce, cunning, and deeply spiritual, the Bonehowls are led by Shaman Griska Bloodmoon, a visionary who believes the Orcs' survival hinges on their connection to the spirits of the wilds. The Bonehowls emphasize stealth, tracking, and ambushes over brute force, and they despise the Rokk Tribe’s straightforward approach to combat. Their distrust of outsiders and preference for independence often puts them at odds with the other clans.
The Skullcrushers
A warlike tribe that values honor above all else, the Skullcrushers are led by Durok Skullcrusher, a chieftain whose ambition to become the supreme leader of all Orcs is no secret. However, the Skullcrushers' sense of honor often blinds them to the practicality of their decisions, making them unreliable allies. They have a deep grudge against the Rokk Tribe, believing their tactics to be dishonorable, and their enmity with the tribe threatens to tear the Alliance apart.
The Stormtide Raiders
A clan of seafaring Orcs, the Stormtides are unlike any of the other tribes. They are known for their fearsome naval raids, lightning-fast attacks, and unrivaled knowledge of the seas. Led by Warlord Vora Stormtide, they see themselves as the future of the Orcs, believing that the land-based clans will soon be rendered irrelevant as the oceans rise and the tides change. Though their leadership is pragmatic, their complete disregard for land-based politics makes them unpredictable and difficult to negotiate with.
The Bloodfangs
A tribe that thrives on chaos, the Bloodfangs are a clan of berserkers and wild warriors led by Karn the Frenzied. They follow the path of rage and violence, believing that the only true way to honor their ancestors is through bloodshed. Though they are a formidable force in battle, their lack of discipline and tendency to attack without provocation makes them unreliable allies in times of peace. Some clans consider them a dangerous liability, but none can deny their destructive power when unleashed.
The Fragile Alliance:
The tribes are united by a shared need for survival. The threat of a rival faction—perhaps a band of marauding invaders or a coalition of human kingdoms—is real, and unless the clans can unite their forces, they may fall before the coming storm. However, the tensions within the alliance are palpable. Leaders argue over strategy, resources, and who should ultimately lead them into the future. Old rivalries run deep, and grudges are not easily forgotten.
