Orcs of the Wastes

Among the nomads are tribes of Orcs , hardy folk who thrive in such conditions. They trade and war with other nomads in equal parts. Orcish mercenaries hire themselves out to the Bloody Hand and other wealthy employers in Alarefti, but those Orcs who leave their tribes are not welcome to return. The Orcs are experts at desert survival, and some make a living as guides.
