       The Orcs of Thar are a proud and ancient people, who have been
       roaming the Northern Steppes of Faerun since long before the
       arrival of Humans on the continent. During the age of the Great
       Wagh, the Orcs essentially controlled all of Northern Faerun,
       with the elves being pushed either to the Moonshae Isles or deep
       into the woods of Cormanthyr. Though they had very few permanent
       settlements, they were able to maintain control of the land
       through constant roaming and pillaging.
       When Humans arrived, there were many great wars fought between
       the two races. The Humans, allied with the elves, were
       triumphing, due in large part to magical superiority, and to
       numbers greater than those of the elves that the Orcs had
       previously dealt with. In the final days of the wars, a powerful
       Orc Shaman known to History as Gordok God-Binder somehow managed
       to summon Bane, the Orcs patron god of Hate, in his corporeal
       form. The Elven King Threnduin and the legendary Human
       Shield-Maiden Sigrun Sverensson, who would later become the
       first Human Queen of Faerun, managed to slay Bane in battle, but
       not before he managed to crush most of the Elven host and
       mortally wound King Threnduin. Following the death of their God,
       the Orcs lost all hope for victory, and the Orcish Chief Grogg
       the Kneeler sued for peace with the Humans and the elves. Thus
       the once great Waghdom was confined to the area now known as
       Thar.
       In recent history, Thar has been very quiet. With their God
       dead, the Orcs have never again held the great ambitions of
       their forebears. However, a great host from Mulmaster recently
       sacked the Monastery of the Yellow Rose, the most aggressive
       action taken by the Northern Orcs in living memory.
