Bloody Tongue

The Bloody Tongue were a tribe of orcs active in the Vast in the 7 century DR.
==History==
In the Year of the Bloody Crown, 649 DR, the orcs of the Bloody Tongue tribe joined a horde of orcs that engulfed the dwarven kingdom of Roldilar in the lands later known as the Vast. At Viperstongue Ford, the Bloody Tongue battled the elf hero Beluar and his forces, but were defeated and forced into a rout. As the sun set, Beluar's forces pursued the orcs north and east into an area of rolling, rugged hills. All through the night, they hunted and ran down the orcs, and trampled them with their horses, skewered them with lances, and lopped off their heads with their blades. Finally, Beluar's forces chased the remaining orcs up the North Road to the village of Maskyr's Eye. Beluar himself killed the last orc on the road in front of the village smithy at dawn.
==Possessions==
The smith of Maskyr's Eye at the time had the opportunity to examine the Bloody Tongue's armor, and found it poor quality, comparable to the basic hardware known as blackwork.
