The Rival Orc Tribes & their Great Battles

One portal opened by Molhorand's rebellious wizards led ot a world populated by savage orcs. These orrcs used the portals to invade Faerun, overrunning many norhtern settlements and slayuing thousands. The manifestations of the god-kings of both Mulhorand and Unther battled the orcs, and the orcs retaliated by summoning divine avatars of their own deities. During these conflicts, known as the Orcgate Wars, the orc god Gruumsh slew the Mulhorandi sun god Re, the first known deicide in the Realms. Many of the Untheric deities were slain as well. The human deities eventually prevailed and the orcs were slain or driven northward.
The deities Set and Osiris battled ot succeed Re, and Set murderd his rival. Horus absorbed the divine power of Re and became Horus-Re, defeated Set, and cast the evil god int the desert. Isis resurrected Osiris. All of the Mulhorandi pantheon but Set united in support of Horus-Re. The two old nations pasued to rebuild their power and lick their wounds. During this time the empire sof Raumathar and Narfell rose in the battlefield territories to the north. In Unther, their chief god Enlil abdicated in favor of his son Gilgeam and vanished, and Ishtar, the only other surviving Untheric deity, gave the power of her manfestation to Isis and vanished as well. Gilgema began his 2,000-year decline into despotic tyranny as the rule of Unther.
