Orcish Confederacy
brought together in the years before the fracture by Imsh war chief of one of the larger surviving western orc factions, driven further and further back, the clans of orcs looked for a leader, and found one in Imsh, more intelligent than his counterparts, and devoid of mercy or compassion, he was exactly who the orcs needed to lead them.
under imsh, no fewer than 43 clans joined as one, managing to hold out against the imperial army for long enough to see its opposition melt away with the coup that sundered the empire leaving the countryside ripe for pillaging.
imsh was wise enough to capitalise on the fledgling usurpers weakness, in exchange for recognition of the orcs rights to the lands they occupied, the orcish confederacy instead turned south and crossed the Belasinian mountains and invaded baragond.
each clan acts on its own in the absence of a command to muster, usually defaulting to their tried and true raiding, over the years they have scoured the western province of baragond of anything of value, bleeding the citizens white as they fled.
imsh and his chosed warrior elite make their home high on the formally imperial side of the mountains, but regularly sends raiding parties into baragond to stall any attempts at rebuilding.
while they are a formidible force, numbering some 250,000 (incl women and children) when fully assembled and on the move, due to their lack of discipline, they have largely avoided pitched battle. choosing instead to adopt a hit and run style war.
