Personal history
Gruumsh One-Eye is typically held to be the chieftain of the pantheon of the orcs, who hold him to be their creator. The orcs tell of the time shortly after the creation of the world in the Dawn Age, when the gods divided the world amongst their creations, no space was set aside for the orcs. In his anger at the injustice done to his people, Gruumsh carved out the deserts and caves, where the orcs could grow and thrive. Other versions of the mythology typically paint Gruumsh as trying to claim more than his fair share of land for the orcs. During the Dawn War, Gruumsh sided with the forces of the Devourer, leading the orcs against the other gods, leading to his duel with Corellon Larethian that resulted in the loss of an eye, and acrimony between the two deities that would endure for millennia.
