Mountain Orc (Thog-ura)

Mountain orcs are a breed of orc closely related to and descended from the Gorthari. In the mid-Age of Veradorianis, many orcs broke off from Kralgtarn and travelled into the mountains around Arvenlaad to live in isolation from the other races, including their own kin. They fought hard for food and warmth, even coming to blows with the dwarves more than once. This began a stigma between orcs and dwarves that persisted throughout the ages.
They called themselves the "thog-ura", meaning "strong ones", and considered themselves harder and more resourceful than other orcs, which may not have been entirely untrue. They are stout and violent, taking territory where they can and defending it to the death. Due to their disdain for the old kingdom of Kralgtarn, they hold grudges against dwarves, elves, humans, gnomes, ogres, and their Gorthari kindred.
