As a desterting faction of the Broken Tooth Tribe who originally hail from Black Crag. South of Border Princes way down in the Badlands. They have marauded their way up to the Empire and are now rumored to be hiding from the Broken Tooth Tribe Boss somewhere in the Grey Mountains of The Empire South West of Bogenhafen. Adventurers, farmers and some scouts from Helmgart have sighted Orcs at different occasions in the past year east of Castle Drachenfels and close to the town of Helmgart.
The exact location of Crove Crag is not certain but it is most likely in this region of the Grey Mountains.
If you can find them then maybe they can help you, do some business or clash 'eads in the name of good sport. Just don't tell their tribe boss whom they have done a runner from.
Their raids on the outlying farms of Bogenhafen and Helmgart are usually monthly. The next raid is predicted by the townsfolk to be around the end of Nachhexen (February) in the year of our Emperor Karl Franz 2013. (Joshin anyone for an afternoon battle? Or in Tsu at the monthly moot. 3rd weekend of the month.)
The last battle in the month of Nachhexen 2012
And so the Orrible Lot of Crove Crag were banished to an archipelago of the Old World by the evil enchanter Drachenfels. They thought they had died and were in Orcy heaven when they charged down the mountainside and into the hunting party of the wood elves. After a few in house squabbles they were finally smashed to bits and sent packing by the might of Orions tree kin. Seeing an opening the horde of Jakes Savage Orc Boar Boys made a charge at the dryads splintering wood and branches in their wake.
The Giant yelled and bawled at the Elves inside the keep making them run away, he made himself at home and started on the bacon and eggs in the hearth.
The tree kin meanwhile made mincemeat of the Orc hordes sending them scattered and destroyed, some elven magic was at work called skin to bark or some such nonsense. Jake and Tank were sure of their chance and charged headlong into the enemy general destroying him and taking one of his banners from the glade guard.
Suddenly Morslieb gave a chaotic howl and the moon ducked behind the clouds throwing the island into a perpetual darkness. The units and armies were lost from each other and split up not returning to the field after initial charges. The battle was over but it was far from won on either side.
The Orrible lot desperately need their mountain range back. Their plan is to raid the settlements of the mountains in order to set up Orc raiding posts on the mountain passes and pilage the caverns of Dwarven gold. The Lot don't care so much for river land and marsh land even if this is their starting point.
If they can gain a foothold in the mountains then that would sort them out financially. If any merchants from the Empire or Border Princes are travelling through then they will taste manflesh. The more mountain range they can take the better and the more stone they will have for their future plans.
Poacher Jake wishes to build an army worthy of the Great Enchanter Drachenfels. Worthy to drive him out of his hole for good.
Waaaaggggggh.
