The Savannah Orcs

The Savannah Orcs are an ancient Ethnic group/tribe of humanoid green creatures that live in the savannahs of Sabrim. They are evidently aboriginals to the savannah and claim to be the rightful rulers of whatever savannah biome they happen to live in. They are extremely xenophobic when it comes to other races moving into the savannah but welcome to the idea of other Greenskins(Goblins, Ogres, ect.) Their lifespan is supernatural, spanning up to 600 years, though most Savannah Orcs die due to tribal infighting or hunting trips gone wrong, making their average lifespan 25.
=== History ===
The beginning of the Savannah Orcs is very blurry to most scholars since many of their tales either split up into different origin stories or all lead down to one path: Krugsmash, their high deity, created the Savannah Orcs to battle the Goblins, like the other Orcs. Though the true origin story of the race has been given up by scholars, many would like to believe the Savannah Greenskins were born into this world from acacia trees or an ancient race of goblins.
The Savannah Orcs used to be divided, different clans killing each other for loot, Krugsmash's laws were not respected and shamans were executed whenever they did not predict their local Chief to win a battle. Until a dashing young man by the name of Thatchy(said to be named after of the thatch hut he was born in) had united the clans into a tribe using cunning diplomacy and brutal strategy. King Thatchy was also known to be close friends and allies to Fengdao, a theocratic monarchy to his village's direct north. Him and his orc soldiers fought The War of the River, with an ambush towards the Liqeni. Though the Liqeni were infuriated by this betrayal, the Greenskins found it hilarious and laughed it off with some "Good ol' flag burning"
King Thatchy lived up to 400 years and eventually died on a hunting trip from a lion. His body was recovered and thrown off the top of a mountain, where the Savannah Orcs believe with the gravel he will remain eternal.
His descendants still roam Sabrim, though there is not many left, most killed off by assassins or in wars, the ones remaining cling on to the power that King Thatchy once held.
=== Universal Culture ===
Though every Savannah Orc clan has it's own distinct ways that separates themselves from the other of their like, they all follow a set of rules created by Krugsmash himself, which include:
* Must have a 'holy' gargantuan jungle tree to mark the town center
* Junglewood is a treasured material, thus making only the shamans, the king, and his captains to use it
* Every nobleman when they die, must be thrown off the tallest mountain near the Savannah to assure their soul into Krugsmash's hands
* Prisoners have exactly 2 days in the dungeon before they are either executed, sacrificed, or ransomed
* Pork shall only be fed to prisoners only
* Killing orc children is prohibited
* Before creating a military alliance, the clan or tribe must trade with the other nation first
