This route is operated by water and relations have gone smoothly, mostly because the half orcs are outcasts and have no one else to rely on. Orc laborers serve their Gnomish commanders for one year and one day then return home after their work contract is expired, at which point they are allowed back into the tribe as an adult. The skills these young adults receive help the tribe build and repair their settlements, so this works out great for them in their opinion. The Gnomes love the half orcs for the free petty laborers that do chores no self respecting soldier would want to do, and the protection work they offer is a joke, since the half orc tribe isn't threatened by any kingdom or surrounded by apex predators.
