Scaro Wilds (Scar OH)
the Nation of Yrach
The Orc of the Scaro Wilds are the biggest threat to the civilized nations of Tinjir. Once thought to be low intelligent barbaric creatures, no better than animals, confined to the central mountains of the Thoamaine Peninsula, the Scaro’are recent conquests throughout Tobia's Gulf has shown their neighbors that the orcs are organized with a deadly cunny.
The Wilds is broken up into several dozen territories, known as Orchold. These communities claims on their territory shift quickly, and regularly, as powers rise and fall. Historically the orcholds fight and raid each other as often as they do the nearby Human civilizations. At least that is how it has been for generations until the rise of the Ruk Orchold. Based out of the ancient elven ruins of Gul Tora, the Ruks came to dominate the largest territory of the region. Their chieftain, Dak Ruk has even claimed the ancient Scaro title of Tyrant, master of all orc. Dar Ruk, through force, murder, cunning and manipulation, brought the other tribes in line under Ruk command. This has created a real threat to not just Thoamaine, but all Tinjir. Under his leadership the orcs, in recent years, have conquered and subjugated their neighbor Val Avin. With many believing he also had a hand in the attack of distant Toemanshire on the far south side of Tobia’s Gulf.
Orc raiders seem to have the ability to appear at any place or time, creating dread in the nearby settlements. While stories of raiding hordes seem to have been exaggerated, the rumors have only increased the Scaro’are influence in the Farlands, with some taking to paying tribute to nearby orc settlements rather than risk the orc attacks.
