Orcish Mountains
The largest and widest mountain in the world is known for is dark rocks, its veins rich in many valuable metals, and especially its wealth in Jet, a most valuable metal, useful not only as a metal for weapons but also a material perfect for magical infusion.
It is here that the orcs call home, it is an environment perfectly suited to their tribal warrior ways.
The Orc clans are numerous, and many are conquered and newly founded each year, but there are some bigger clans, that have more or less stayed the same over time, that have been able to remain in power, simply due to their size and renown.
The Clans
Orc clans are often named after a weapon or appendage, and a color or other signifier, such as the blood fangs, or blue blades, which are two of the older orc clans.
There are also orcs in the red, and ashen mountains to the east, but they are much less numerous there, and there are no major tribes to found in those parts. They used to be part of what the orcs called black rock, their homeland, but because they are thoroughly under yenoan control, the orcs were pushed out, and relegated to the western mountains, which were much taller, and much more difficult for foreign powers to project their influence.
