Clan Deathfist
Deathfist orcs are a fairly typical example of an Orc clan in decline. They have no great strongholds, are not well organized, and have not seen an especially effective leader in the past few generations. They also seem to have lost any of the innate magic that still flows in the veins of other Orc tribes, for while they have a very few oracles, they lack any Orcs with inborn magic talent. Though they are still widespread throughout the plains of the Commonlands, they pose no threat to the massive city of Freeport itself, just to its outlying communities and settlers in the Commonlands.
Like most orc clans, they place great importance on personal battle prowess. Young Deathfist orcs are called pawns until they manage to slay a clan enemy, but, increasingly, pawns are killed more often than those they stalk. Lacking a strong home base, most Deathfist orcs have gathered in roving bands of brigands and hunters struggling to scrape out a meager existence. Should the Deathfist orcs ever manage to gather in one place, however, they might once again lay claim to their home territory and even lay siege to Freeport itself.
