Izdrag Or

History

Izdrag Or has been occupied by the orcs for as long as recorded history. Overtime most orc tribes would consolidate into what is considered the three main tribes of Izdrag Or. In 251RH land surveyors from the not yet founded Merchant Republic would make contact with the orc's of Izdrag Or who would greet them kindly but offer a stern warning. Any encroachment on what they considered their lands would be met with the full force of the three tribes. Since then there have been no border disputes between the two countries. 

Izdrag Or was split in two after the King's Uprising, North Izdrag Or still follows the teachings of The King In White and the south half still recognizes the authority of Balan and his government. 

Geography

Izdrag Or features large mountain ranges in its northern section and fertile fields on the southern border, in between are hearty forests. 

Politics

While there used to be hundreds of different Orc tribes roaming Izdrag Or most would eventually come together to from three major tribes. Once every ten years the Orc tribes will fight over a central holy land known as Xoroku to determine which tribe will be leader for the next decade. This changed in recent years when Shel Agronak reclamed her families birthright and united the Orc tribes by slaying the Dreadwyrm Zerux.

Economy

Orc's are mostly self sustaining but the orcs who wish to seek adventure or glory tend to enlist with the Valentino Mercenary Group; A mercenary group founded by the Valentino family who also runs the border town between The Merchant Republic and Izdrag Or. 

Demographic And Culture
