The Ruthless Skullbreakers

The Ruthless Skullbreakers are one of the smallest orc tribes. They live in northern Drakthirr and originated from The Shade Legion around 4000 b. BF to prevent the invasion of the Blue Mountain Clan. The balance between Orcs and goblins is relatively average compared to other tribes of orcs.

Geography

The territory claimed by the Ruthless Skullbreakers is located in northern Drakthirr. The tribe claims large regions in the mountains and border the dwarven Blue Mountain clan in the east. To the west lies the territory of The Shade Legion, which are more or less good allies of the Ruthless Skullbreakers. In total, the territory measures about 25.000 square miles, which is very small compared to other orc tribes. The capital Uz Gegol is located on the coast in the north.

Climate and Vegetation

The Ruthless Skullbreakers live in a temperate climate zone. The temperatures reach from 4°C in winters to 28°C in summers. The territory is protected from rainfall by the mountains and therefore really dry. The ground can be described as badlands and is very dusty and earthy, often infertile. The flora of the northern half of the territory is very sparse, and only smaller plants like bushes. The mountains in the south are overgrown by smaller sparse trees and bushes. The fauna is adapted to the circumstances of the climate and flora. In the wastelands, only a few animals can be found, especially wild animals like boars and goats, but also predators like wyvern, and various insects.

Society and Politics

The Ruthless Skullbreakers are one of the smallest orc tribes. 700.000 orcs and 1 million goblins belong to the clan. They follow the traditional culture of Orcs, however, due to their friendship and shared origin with The Shade Legion, the Ruthless Skullbreakers treat goblins with more respect than other tribes. The tribe is known for its use of dull, heavy weapons as a way to overcome the heavy armored Dwarves, which are at constant war with the orcs.
Like all other tribes, the population splits into different smaller sub-tribes, led by lesser war chiefs.
