The Vorhut are orcs from an earlier, minor Invasion. Since that time, millenia ago, they've stayed among the mountains of the White Peaks, thus giving them their nickname of "White Orcs". Their numbers are few because the White Peaks are unforgiving to those unprepared and that has made them peaceful: blood is more precious than gold. Their distance from the rest of the world had surrounded them in a mystical aura, with rumors that they're so close to the roof of the world that they can hear the words spoken in any corner of the Middle Realm and know all things.

Preferred Loadout
The Vorhut prefer light armor and small weapons, particularly the sling, but, beyond that, they prefer warm clothing with many layers, often slashes at the joints to offer the ability to move. Indeed, teh Vorhut take extreme pride in their gear, often enlaying them with runes to give them additional power and strength.
