It may seem strange to you that the race considered to be nomadic savages had an empire. It should be noted that the Orcs were not always this way. The orcish people started out in the land known now as Shalfnah Lohne. They had kingdoms, just like the elves.
However when the destruction of Shalfnah Lohne began it hit the orcs first, destroying there kingdoms. Divided and ruined, the orcs divided into clans and fought against the elves to take controle of portals. Through these they escaped into Thraindhne.
With themselves divided the orcs resorted back to the old savage ways and broke into diffrent types. This, however, we shall talk about another time. At the time of the Elven and Dwarven empires many Orcish clans had formed in the south and had build cities. One of these clans had learnt to fight very well while riding dire wolves. Their leader, Cargukh the great, lead their clan in a great war of conquest in which they consumed all of the other clans into the Orcish empire.
During the war that became known as the Great war, which fought between the Elven, Dwarves, Giants, and Orcs, the Orcs expanded their realm even more. Cargukh's alliance with the giants helped them take over most of the southern world.
However Cargukh had many children, 7 sons and 12 daughters in fact, and when he died they all wanted to rule. The orcs began to fight among themselves and the empire crumbled. What remained was taken by other kingdoms outside of their realm, such as the giants. The orcs where never really able to fully recover from the empires fall. There are only a handful of orcish nations that are left, and most are still savage and lawless.
