Clash of wild orcs with followers of Gharmoth
An isolated world of orcs
Orcs lived in isolation on the eastern edge of the continent for millennia. Separated by the frozen Lake Helk, later swamps and desert, they had no reason to contact the rest of the world. Their society was based on survival, strength and simple rules. Foreign influences were perceived as a threat.
A short and brutal conflict
Despite their abilities, the occultists didn't stand a chance against the orcs. Their numbers were small, and their fighting style was not suited to direct confrontation. The orcs systematically exterminated them and ended their presence in the region.
A change in orc thinking
However, this clash left a deeper mark. Orcs realized for the first time that a world beyond their borders existed. They gradually began to explore the western territories, which led to migration and the first contacts with other races. This began a new chapter in orc history.
