Clans of the Orc Lowlands


Clan Willbreakers
- Chieftain: Chief-Shaman Bloodrider
- Territory: Martog and Fa'Sha'Ta.
- Description: The Willbreakers Clan number around 16,000 and are one of two clans led not by the most boisterous or fierce warrior in the Clan, but by a Shaman--Shaman Bloodrider. The Willbreakers inhabit the center of the Clan, just South of the Mangletooth Clan, of which they have long held a tenuous alliance of sorts with Chieftain Gruth. Willbreaker is the most animated of the shaman's in the Lowlands, and many believe him to be the greatest spellcaster South of the Great River.
- Major Clan Penalty: Famine: The Greatlands are suffering their worst harvest ever. Unless rectified, more and more orcs will migrate to better lands. [-2% Orc Population/Turn]
- Minor Clan Penalty: Surrounded: Enemies are everywhere. We have no flanks secured. [-5% Success chance when being Raided.]

Clan Mawnsta
- Cheftain: Chief-Shaman Gozgum Seereye
- Territory: Garug, Marga Rock, Karak Nud
- Description: Shaman Seereye is the other shaman chieftain in the Lowlands. His territory is more vast, with a larger calling of orcs--as well as the former Dwarven hold of Karak Nud--Seereye's territory is especially desolate and unforgiving. It is rumored that he too is a great Shaman, and there are whispers that he is just as powerful as Shaman Bloodrider. Considering neither Shaman has ever challenged one another, it is doubtful the rumors will soon be quelled.
- Major Clan Penalty: With a Mountain at Our Back: The Mawnsta's Eastern Flank is a complex mountain range with little arable land or room to grow. [Cannot use "Rule" in Karak Nud and Marga Rock.]
- Minor Clan Penalty: Dwarven Border: The Mawnsta's hold former Dwarven territory. The subterranean Karak Nud is a host to Dwarven raiding parties and suffers frequent raids and attacks.

Clan Rockfang
- Cheftain: Chieftain Grom Burnteye
- Territory: Trugg
- Description: The Rockfangs were made up by the scattered remnants of defeated clans that have survived life as drifting as outcasts and come together in one of the more forgotten parts of the Lowlands, banding together looking for safety and strength in numbers. They aren't a well known clan and don't have a glorious origin. Some might call them weak, given the past of some of their warriors but these orcs have found kinship among each other. They have experienced what it's like to be on the bottom wrung of the ladder and are hungry to prove themselves to the other clans and claim their place.
- Minor Clan Penalty: Puny: The Rockfang Clan is the smallest in the Lowlands, with Chieftain Grom barely able to coral 4,500 warriors to his banners.

Clan Warmonger
- Cheftain: Kruk Bloodaxe
- Territory: Margut, Blackhut Village, Meggur Valley, Huchup
- Description: Chieftain Kruk Bloodaxe is the de facto Greyhusk of the Lowlands. While not the oldest Orc by any stretch, he is the longest serving chieftain and has tested his mettle against Orcs, Pinkskins, Sharp Ears and even Underdwellers. Along with his, the Warmonger Clan is the largest in the Lowlands. Hailed as a competent chief and a deadly warrior, there are a great many Chiefs that fear Kruk--and still even more that wishes to see him dead under their boot.
- Major Clan Penalty: Famine: The Greatlands are suffering their worst harvest ever. Unless rectified, more and more orcs will migrate to better lands. [-2% Orc Population/Turn]
- Minor Clan Penalty: Where are the Orcs To Be Feared?: The Warmonger Clan has long held a vast territory of formerly conquered enemies. The Champions of Old are gone. [-1 DRM when recruiting a new champion.]

Clan Gorejaw
- Cheftain: Brok Gorejaw
- Territory: Gorguth Spire
- Description: In the first week of the Hottgug, Brok Gorejaw challenged Chieftain Gorth of Clan Gorejaw to a duel. Gorth, a Greyhusk, put up a sound fight but was slain in single combat by Brok Gorejaw--simultaneously becoming a Blooded orc and a Chieftain in one physical stroke of his axe. Brok is a fierce warrior of some speed and considerable size, and he won the loyalty of what members of Clan Gorejaw came with him by immediately handing Gorth's supply of beers and ales out to the warriors that had accompanied him.
- Major Clan Penalty: A New Chieftain: When the Hottgug ends and the Chieftains return home, they will be met with a new Chieftain. [-15% Success Chance in Rally and Raid for 5 Turns.]
- Minor Clan Penalty: An Isolated Clan: Unlike those clans in the Mid and Center Lowlands that are a thriving community of traders and raiders, the Gorejaw Clan inhabits a territory without many neighbors. [Effects unseen until Turn 3]
