Orcs

Nomadic tribal people with a strong emotional society that places importance on feats of strength, proof of constitution, and honor. Their god, Gruumush holds a role of great importance, and the making of oneself to look more like him is an honorable and prestigious activity that commutes higher status and demands respect.
Their main capitol, as much as it can be called that, is beyond the Isthmus of Ereg. The story goes, that the Savanna of this particular pass has such dangerous fauna and flora, and is so unforgiving that even camping in it overnight is seen as accepting death. The only way bands and tribes of orc make it through is by marching non-stop for the two and a half to three days it takes, and by making massive hordes to protect themselves. Through the power of numbers and stamina, Orcs are able to pass through this impassable terrain, but this keeps their major capitol and grazing lands safe from the prying eyes or fingers of Asmodeus's allies.
