Stonetusk

Even colder and harsher than Nordaa, farther to the north lie the isles of Stonetusk, home of the orcs and giants, and humans so wild that they’re barely more than beasts with prehensile thumbs. Stonetusk’s people are a tough, savage lot who contend not only with the challenging climate, but with the myriad deadly monsters that roam their isles. Since orcs and giants are not known for their expansive civil engineering, the lands of Stonetusk are still untamed, leaving all manner of beasts to breed more heavily than in other settled islands in Vodari.
The orcs take advantage of this situation by harvesting coveted body parts and byproducts of rare, highly sought-after monsters and selling them to collectors from other nations. As far as “importing” goods, their preferred method of trade is to send out long-range ships to raid and plunder the merchant vessels and shores to the south and bring back whatever they want. There are tales circulating on the seas of a devastating giant ship—a massive ship, crewed almost entirely by stone giants—prowling the western waters of Vodari.
Stonetusk has a long history of skirmishes with Nordaa to the south. As Nordaa’s tribes unify, Stonetusk steps up their efforts to smash them, before Nordaa becomes too powerful for them to contend with.
