	As Izrador bred the orcs from their original fey ancestors he created many lineages. Some became the ancestral stock of the modern tribes, others became extinct, a few were destroyed, but one lives on as a feral line known as the Motherless Ones. These wild orcs are of an old but uncontrollable lineage. They are savage brutes, even for their kind, and so uncivilized they live only in ephemeral, combative packs. Their numbers are small, and they occupy the most northern regions of the Marches, often living in small nomadic camps and glacial ice caves. They survive by hunting and raiding more southerly orc settlements for weapons and tools they are unable to make themselves. The other tribes have long sought to eradicate the Motherless Ones but have thus far been unsuccessful.

Many of the traditional powers in the north, the great orc tribes, have been drawn south to richer hunting grounds or to join the armies fighting against the accursed fey. In their wake, alliances among the minor tribes still in the north have shifted as they struggle for petty dominance. Blood is being spilled and the marches are littered with empty warrens.

While the other great tribes marched south to war, the '''Blood Mother''' orcs built their strength and have come to dominate the Ishensa Basin. They are now beginning to expand their control into the eastern Downs. The tribe controls the richest lands in the north and treats our brothers at the Eye as if they were prisoners. '''The witch Baeraga''' still leads the tribe and makes no secret of her hatred of us. They are by far the strongest tribe, with dozens, if not hundreds, of warrens delving deep into the earth.

To the north, the '''Blighted Mother''' tribe has been pushed farther north, living in the margins of the Frozen Marsh. The hatred between the two tribes is palpable, but the Blighted Mother orcs do not have the strength to oppose Baeraga and her hordes. To the west there are only '''minor tribes''' that bow and scrape to keep their lands. The Blood Mother orcs have become too powerful; the balance between the great tribes is gone.
