Og-Brethos
The Stoneheart Mountains’ orcs clearly play second fiddle to the more numerous goblin and hobgoblin adversaries, yet these aggressive and chaotic humanoids are more than capable of wreaking havoc throughout the region. Orcs under the command of Chieftain Drogg Thumbuster occupy the fortified settlement of Og-Brethos north of Dun Eamon and west of the Stoneheart Ice Plateau. A great earthen wall defends the residents’ crude huts. The barbarous humanoids periodically attack merchants traveling to and from Dun Eamon as well as small, isolated dwarven and hobgoblin settlements on the sparsely-populated frontier. The orcs who serve under him include a substantial number of ghost-faced orcs and half-orcs. Despite Drogg’s violent nature and bloodthirsty ways, he has proven to be a remarkably shrewd leader. He recognizes his people’s limitations and makes sure not to undertake an action likely to provoke a concerted response from any of his more sophisticated neighbors. He believes his efforts are better served trying to locate a fabled lost orcish city supposedly buried beneath the Stoneheart Ice Plateau. His scouts recently found a crevasse in the ice close to the settlement’s rumored location, spurring hope they may be close to finding the entrance to the fabled locale.
