the Orcish horde

The horde marches. The world trembles.

Orcs, Goblins, Grendel—different names for the same creatures that have stalked humanity's myths and legends for generations. Draped in animal hides and wielding primitive weapons of stone and bone, they have long been dismissed as savage beasts, relics of fear woven into folklore. To most, they exist only in cautionary tales meant to frighten children or in the drunken ramblings of travelers. Yet to others, these beings are no myth—they are a living nightmare, flesh and blood, a relentless scourge that defies understanding.

For centuries, they roamed as solitary hunters, their origins shrouded in mystery and lost to the depths of time. But now, something has changed. In recent years, these creatures have begun to evolve. A dark shadow stretches across the March, and from its mountains and forests emerges a new breed of Orc—smarter, stronger, and wielding vile, corrupted magic.

Their ultimate purpose remains shrouded in uncertainty. Who—or what—they serve is a mystery, but their growing presence suggests an ominous design that cannot be ignored
