Northern Tribes

The Northern Tribes have occupied the Boreal Lands for centuries. The orcs were the first to make their home in these vast, icy tracts. The varank, for their part, came to the Boreal Lands in small waves as they left the northernmost reaches of the central continent behind, abandoning it entirely during the civil war that ended the elven empire of Gae Assail.

Since then, both peoples have inhabited the Boreal Lands. But a few years ago, two tribes of orcs and varank sealed an alliance, motivated by a common interest: to head south, cross the Northern Seas, and conquer the central continent itself.
