Gruumsh

Gruumsh is the patron god of the orc race and greater god of the orc pantheon. He is named He Who Never Sleeps for he is said to never tire, and symbolized with an ever-open eye to represent the orc belief that he watches over them all, judging the worth of each and every one of their kind. Gruumsh guides over his people with the aid of his divine subordinates, ruling over orcish mortals and gods alike as their unquestioned patriarch. Long ago he swore that orcs would rule over Astora, and since then has driven his people to wage endless holy war in the name of his divine wrath.
