Background

The Vargash Orc clan have lived in the mountains for generations. Although not the largest of tribes, they have out-survived many larger groups through their patience and cunning. Outsiders often view Orcs as mindless beasts who only crave blood and death, and while this may be the case with some of the more warlike tribes, the Vargash Orcs are as varied and complex as any group of individuals.

Outwardly, their stronghold makes use of the ignorant views of the other races, appearing grim and intimidating to scare off any potential attackers. Multiple levels of intelligent defences can easily hold back any who are not put off. Even those who make it into the maze-like caverns within the mountainside are presented with a curated view. The Vargash will occasionally take prisoners, only to allow them to ‘escape’ a few days later to spread tales of their ferocity.

Within the cavern complex, the Orcs live a mostly peaceful and happy life. Many of them are crafters and skilled artisans as well as capable warriors. The great hoard that they maintain comes primarily from trade and commerce rather than pillage and plunder. Their greatest treasure however is kept deep in the mountain, the next generation of Orc whelps being raised to continue their traditions.
