Mountain Orc

Stone giants cultivated their orcs to be a frontline fighting force. They were trained to fight in the tight tunnels, and mountain passes that they themselves could not traverse. The mountain orcs were the first to rebel under their stone giant masters when the giant kingdoms began to fall. These fights trained the orcs to be an elite fighting group that was nearly unstoppable. They went to war off the back of their successes against the giants and took the Azcragg Hold from the dwarves that was home to the mother forge. The mountain orcs are renowned smiths that can rival some of the best metal workers among the dwarven and elven artisans. After the sundering of Necessa the orcs opened up Azcragg back to the obsidian dwarves to help mend relations as well as gain knowledge of the failed wards that were unsealed during the sundering. The obsidian dwarves are also viewed as outcasts among their brethren so took the opportunity to regain access to their ancestral home. Now the two species share the hold and have some of the finest wares that can be crafted in the lands.
While mountain orcs are green in complexion it tends to be darker than those of the hill orcs whether tanned from the forges or stained with soot. They are the largest and most muscular of all the orcs and are known for their ferocious martial prowess in close quarters. They also are the least migrant of all the orcs where they build and fortify their mountain fortresses. Hair styles range from long to short and can be adorned with trinkets of the fallen or crafted jewelry.
