Bone Tusks
The second largest of the Orc Tribes, second only to Ebon Maw, the Bone Tusks are a polar opposite of their larger sister clan. They hold to their tribal roots much more strongly than many others, rarely staying in one place for more than a few years. Always on the move, they constantly seek out a challenge, wanting to dominate other tribes and to become the strongest orcs the world has to offer. The chieftan, currently Shevna the Razer, is invariably the toughest fighter amongst the clan.
History
In the year 76, a young orc named Juvakk challenged his chieftain to single combat. Besting the older orc, he installed himself as the new leader, renaming the tribe to the Bone Tusks. Many within the clan opposed this change, but Juvakk spent several years moving them around the Northern Reaches, conquering many small tribes, taking the survivors into their fold and expanding the Bone Tusks, and earning him the title of Juvakk the Angry. In the year 84, Juvakk was slain in battle, whereupon the tribe began infighting for several months, eventually coming under command of Brobukk Spitekiller. He kept on the tribe's warpath, and ever since, the Bone Tusks have been an extremely warlike clan, always lead by the strongest warrior amongst them.
Religion
The Bone Tusks hold fast to ancient traditions when it comes to religion. They worship Begtar and Sokdos as the creators of all orcs, and fight in their honour to bring glory to their gods. To them, Krothys is a twisted creature, who brings only weakness in their wake. The Bone Tusks believe that Krothys created humans, elves and the other races of Amion, and believe it is the sacred duty of orcs to cleanse the world of them. They see weakness as corruption, born of Krothys' influence, and seek to stamp it out wherever they can.
