Xurug’s Horde
An endless horde of orcs, the civilized nations of Andarrea fear ever-growing army of orcs. Horrifying reports of slaughter, mutilation, and rape have given the Horde the nickname "Legion of the Abyss", equating them to the demons that reside there.
Structure
Xurug Dagulach is the leader of the Horde and carries the title of Warlord. He appointed new tribe leaders to each of the tribes he conquered which serve as his generals. However, the only person word who accounts for anything is Xurug. His word is considered law and any who disobeyed often face execution.
Public Agenda
The Horde's purpose is to retake the mountains that were once their homes, to wipe out or enslave all inferior races which is any race but orcs, and spread the orc race all throughout Andarrea.
History
The horde was first formed when Xurug Dagulach established his name by defeating his tribe leader, Mazhug Oakug. From there he went on to conquer the neighboring five tribes. When he consolidated his gains, he packed up the tribes and settled them near Dalhurst to destroy the colonies established by Thylodis and The United Northern Kingdoms. After a few raids, they were forced to fall back into the hills where the purpose shifted to gathering manpower. Xurug descended upon the tribes of the hill slaughtering, conscripting, and enslaving tribe after tribe. Within three short years, he had conquered 13 more tribes. The few reaming orc tribes not apart of the Horde have camped out at Ayuulgüi Gazar in hopes of holding onto their freedom. The Horde has remained in its place in the hills, building its army, waiting for Xurug to call them to war.
Military
The description of horde fits this fighting force very well. For the most part, the military is a disorganized mess. The tribes typically only follow their own clan's orders leading to a bit of discord in battle. They have even been known to quarrel with one another. However, the moment the Xurug Dalguch lifts his banner for war, the Horde falls into order becoming an organized, formidable, and terrifying army to go against. Their tactics show their brutish nature, often using slave labor as human shields, traps, and mine sweepers.
Technological Level
While most orc tribes have primitive weapons, recent rumors have said that the Horde has gotten their hands on more advanced weapons.
Foreign Relations
Many of the tribes in the Grasslands are currently at war with the Horde while neighboring nations reinforce their borders for the inevitable orc invasion. Thylodis and The United Northern Kingdoms have been pusing the The Council of Kingdoms for a joint invasion force with the purpose of genociding the orc race while Füradern has opted for a more humane means of population control.
