Spine-Breakers

The Spine-Breakers were an orc tribe; turned into orc horde, that emerged from the Zapaykra Mountains in -156 AS. They were responsible for the looting of Jynorhim and the near-destruction of Clan Jarufeller.
The horde was involved in a war late in the Decline with a collection of Hakhraz tribes in the northern reaches of the the range, in a conflict that came to be known as the Northern War of the Tusk. The horde was shattered into tribes as a result, though at its height, the horde was believed to be one of the largest ever seen.

Culture

As is common in many orc tribes, the Spine-Breakers feared their gods and were intensely superstitious. They lacked much in cultural innovation outside the typical attitudes of orcs, with their incredible ability to harness power from their gods via totems being the only proper development ever achieved.
