As with many orcs they live as raiders,hunters, gathers, and trappers.
Assets
Blackworgs, as their name implies, have a great deal of Worgs that they tend to ride into combat on.
History
the Blackworg orcs have been a plague on Krogar for nearly three hundered years, shortly after Lord Jasos and his army of knights pushed the surrounding Orc clans into the wolf wood. there it was assumed they would most likely tear eachother apart or be slain by the wildlife within. instead the clans were banded together by Warlord Menk, who pushed deeper into the wolf wood setting up a sizeable encampent that would be safe from human invaders. since then the Blackworg orcs have sent raiding parties out into the nearby holds and kingdoms every few years, and while they are always eventually pushed back there is little in the means that can be done to permenantly end the heavily fortifiedf orc encampent.
Mythology & Lore
Orcs were spawned from the blood of Kahesh during his battle with Umeren, during the dawn wars. since then a fierce hate has existed between elves and the orcs. During the Long Night Kahesh was slain by the mysterious force that destabalized the planes, since then orcs think that one day Kahesh will be reborn among their mighty clans, the leader of each tribe of orcs reffering to themselves as Kahesh reborn.
Divine Origins
Following the Long Night, Clerics of Kahesh found their powers greatly diminished though not extinguished. this led many to think that Kahesh was gravely injured during the Long Night or perhaps temporarily slain. the Shamans foretold the day where Kahesh would be reborn from the blood he'd shed so long ago.
Cosmological Views
Orcs had a very limited understanding of the cosmos until the long night, where many creatures were enlightened as to the true nature of the multiverse.
Worship
many Kahesh worshipers will ritualisticly remove their right eyes. this symbolizes their commitment to the one eyed god, as well as covering for the greater gods partial blindness they believe.
Kahesh lives again!
