Orcs were, for most of Faerun's history, the dominant race on
the continent. Long before humans arrived, huge bands of orcs
roamed the plains and steppes of Faerun, hunting mammoths and
building great effigies of bone and rock to honor the spirits of
the planet. It was the orcs that halted the Lilty Empire's
expansion into Northern Faerun, and when the humans arrived, it
was only through a combined force of elves and humans that the
orc god Bane was killed and the orcs brought to their knees.
Now the orcs are confined to Thar, where they live their lives
squabbling with each other over territory and loot. However,
more recently, something has inspired the orcs of Mulmaster to
greatness, and they have seized the Monastery of the Yellow
Rose. Could this be the second coming of the orcs?
