For years the realm of giants have faced a menacing force that sweeps across the lands. The green horde is an united nation of orcs under the command of Ghork Junior, King of the Orcs who rules with an iron fist and is always looking for a fight against any foe he can find.
Those orcs are nothing but trouble. And with that new kid taking charge, its only got worse. Got told by a couple giants that this Ghork got given the keys to the entire army. A child with the power of a rampaging military is a pretty scary thought.— Damborough Baxx, Realm Ranger
The Origins:
The founding of the Green Horde was the end product of the Greenskin war. Years of internal battling between orc clans in an attempt for dominance and the title of 'King of the Orcs'. In the end, one remained supreme, a savage beast who called himself Ghork. This Ghork spent the rest of his remaining life uniting the old clans from the war and forging one coherent army that has the potential to overthrow a continent.
After a hundred years of ruling and creating a sense of cohesion amongst orc kind, Ghork passed the title of King to his son, Ghork Junior. Training him to be the strongest and most powerful greenskin, the realm had ever seen. During one skirmish training session, Ghork Senior fell to his son. Taunting him to finish the job and claim his title. The son did as he was told and killed his father, becoming the new Orc King. Now the green horde is under the rule of Ghork Junior for better or worse.
Chain of Command:
As chaotic and beastly as an orc can be, almost every greenskin respect the unspoken laws and rules which allows them to operate as a society. The green horde army is no exception. With several ranks throughout ranging from the grunts in the mud pits to the king himself.
The Orc King: The one and only ruler of all orcs in the Green Horde
Generals: Usually veterans that have gained the respect of most other orcs
Leaders: Formally known as clan leaders, orcs who command units of orc squads
Savages: Orcs with special knack for killing and combat
Soldiers: The title given to most orcs that fight for the horde
Grunts: A title for high ranking goblins that liaise between soldiers and goblin squads
Scraps: The lowest form of goblins that fight for the army. Typically serving in squads around one hundred in size
Enemies:
Throughout the years, the Green Horde have fought many enemies and created just as many. With their biggest rivals being the paleskin armies. Dwarves and giants who refuse to give up natural resources or areas of land that have been claimed by the Orc King.
Whilst the horde tend to stay in their home realm, they have stumbled upon gateways that lead to other realms. Ones with blood sucking paleskins and shapeshifting wolf beasts. Seeing these creatures as inferior, Ghork Junior has attempted to spread his reign to these new lands but failed on multiple occasions.
