==History==
===Third Era===
In 3E 399, Gortwog made a claim to the land of Orsinium, having equal claim to the land as his opponent, the Breton Lord Bowyn. The two were stuck in a deadlock, and as such, by Imperial custom, it was decided that a duel had to be held. Gortwog was granted the right to decide the arms and armor, whereas Lord Bowyn had the right to choose the location. While both also had the right to choose a Champion to fight in their stead, both chose to fight themselves. Despite some training in the armor, Lord Bowyn stood no chance against Gortwog, and was beaten in combat, providing Gortwog with the legal rights to the land.How Orsinium Passed to the Orcs
====War of Betony====
While the Orsimer were originally not involved in the War of Betony in 3E 402, they were involved in clashes with Wayrest over access to the Bjoulsae River.The Daggerfall Chronicles
Later on during the War of Betony, the Orcs of King Gortwog were said to have been sent out to block a group of Wayrest Scouts from reaching the encamptment of King Lysandus of Daggerfall. While most of the scouts were blocked by the Orcs, some made it through,Dialogue with Helseth during "Blackmail" and are implied to have murdered the King in his tent.Events of "Painting the Truth" Specifically Lord Woodborne was stated to have murdered King Lysandus.Dialogue with the spirit of Lysandus during "Lysandus' Revelation"Dialogue with Lord Woodborne during "Lysandus' Revenge" Likewise, Gortwog's forces were slain by the Wayrest assassins.Dialogue with Medora Direnni during "Dust of Restful Death""Lord Woodborne's Private Journal VII" Other reports attribute the Orsimer for the death of Lysandus, however.
The Emperor also sent out a letter to Queen Mynisera of Daggerfall during the conflict, but due to the passing of King Lysandus during the war, the letter was delivered to Aubk'i instead.Dialogue with Mynisera during "The Emperor's Courier" The letter detailed the fact that Lord Woodborne had gained possession of the Totem of Tiber Septim,Letter from Uriel Septim which would later find its way to the treasury of Castle Daggerfall.Events of "Totem, Totem, Who Gets the Totem?"
====The Warp in the West====
The Thieves Guild later stole the Emepror's letter, and fenced it to King Gortwog.Dialogue with Morgiah during "Morgiah's Wedding" When Mynisera discovered this, she desired the letter from Gortwog, and as such, offered to put in a good word with the Empire should Gortwog help her get the letter. Gortwog, however, no longer cared for the letter, and allowed the Agent to retrieve it from Orsinium if he could do so without finding death.Dialogue with Gortwog gro-Nagorm during "Orcish Emancipation"
Gortwog would later contact the Agent once more, upon learning of his possession of the Totem of Tiber Septim. In a letter addressed to the Agent, Gortwog detailed how his people were treated like barbarians and slaughtered on sight, to which the Orcs only respond in kind. Gortwog explained how he desired to raise the status of the Orsimer to that of the other races of Tamriel, providing them with a homeland, and that to do so he needed the Totem.Letter from Gortwog When Gortwog was provided the Totem, he was grateful as it provided his people with a chance at freedom. Gortwog also promised a far greater reward to the Agent should they find and bring the Mantella to him.Dialogue with Gortwog gro-Nagorm during "Totem, Totem, Who Gets the Totem?"
When the Numidium was activated, in 3E 417 the Kingdoms of Daggerfall, Wayrest and Orsinium had been involved in a three-way clash, causing a great fire to occur in the forests of Daenia and the Illessan Hills, which would spread north into Ykalon and Phygias. Orsinium's forces were likewise actively engaging the forces of Wayrest in the territory of what had once been Gauvadon. By the end of the conflict, 20 years after the Warp in the West had occurred, Gortwog had managed to claim much of the Wrothgarian Mountains, while also claiming the coast of the Bjoulsae River. With Orsinium's solidified power, Gortwog requested the Elder Council recognize Orsinium as an Imperial province seperate from High Rock. While the Elder Council did treat Gortwog as a sovereign king, and collected taxes directly from Orsinium directly, formally the land was still considered a county of High Rock, despite spanning both High Rock and Hammerfell.The Warp in the WestEvents of "Journey to Aetherius"
The Kingdom of Wayrest, after the conflict, created an alliance between itself and Orsinium after the miracle of peace, under the rule of Queen Elysana.Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: High Rock Gortwog also sent out adventurers into the other provinces to seek riches and treasures to have Orsinium gain the respect of all of Tamriel.Dialogue with Adventurers of Orsinium Many Orcs also signed on with the Imperial Legion, earning themselves Imperial citizenship."Orc" dialogue topic in 
Following Orsinium's official formation, Necromancers had a keen eye on the corpses of Orcs, due to the durability of their skin and the strength in their bones.
