Editing Durgaz's Stuff he knows (section)

===Orc Warlords===
The legates and traitor princes rule in occupied territory,
generally what was once the kingdom of Erenland. Those
areas that were strongholds of the resistance or are closer to
the free realms of the fey, however, like the battle lines drawn
up against Erethor and the Kaladruns, are firmly under the
control of orc warlords. These regions are often devoid of
human settlements, and those who remain are as likely to
become food as they are to be slaves. Meanwhile, north of the
Pelluria in the decimated and thoroughly destroyed lands of
the Dorns, orc tribes have begun to migrate out of the Vale of
Tears to resettle in deserted towns and villages. Tens of thousands
of the creatures have settled in the hills around Fallport,
up and down the Ishensa River Valley, and throughout the
barren lands to the north and east of Highwall. The orcs consider
anyone in these lands to be their property to use or kill
as they see fit. If the migrations north of the Pelluria continue
apace, the orcs will soon outnumber the Dorns.
The power of the orc tribes continues to put pressure on
the traitor princes, who watch as the whispered promises of
Izrador fade away with each passing year. In the east, Gregor
Chander has been denied the rich farmlands of the lower
Ishensa River Valley that he had fought for in the Third Age.

In Bastion, Chandering, Port Esben, and Steel Hill, the
princes are forced to house orc legions that “assist” them in
maintaining security. Tension between human and orc troops
is clearly visible and more than one human or orc patrol has
gone missing in areas devoid of resistance activity. Open warfare
between orcs and traitorous men has been avoided, however,
as the punishments from Theros Obsidia and the Night
Kings for such impudence would be swift and merciless. Orc
warlords and even traitor princes can, after all, be replaced.
However, those princes that survived the fall of the Shadow
and those orcs who have clawed their way to leadership are
not fools, and know well how to disguise their blows. The
Shadow allows the weak to be culled as long as it does not
detract from the war against the fey
