God-kings of the Orcs

Over the millennia, strange powers from far off Erenes have allied themselves with the goblinkind and used them to do their bidding. Some of these powers have been able to grant faculties and abilities to certain of their followers, including unnaturally long life. These gifted followers have made names for themselves as infamous god-kings of the orc hordes. 

The most famous of these is Gruumsh One-eye, warchief of the who was slain by Agronar the Conqueror, but whom the Orcs believe live on in the fury of night storms. Gruumsh was a orc of immense physical strength and unrelenting vitality, capable of a barbaric rage which rendered him all but immune to magic. He was averse to bright light and could sense and seek out impending conflict. His skill as a warchief was said to be augmented by a limited prescience that allowed him to see the immediate future.

Yurtrus the White Handed is a terrifying spectacle of death and disease. He is a huge, vaguely orcish giant covered with peeling, rotting green flesh. His hands are chalk-white in color. He is surrounded by a huge envelope of stinking gasses which choke and blind all but his devoted followers who find it invigorating and healing, as well as a periapt against all disease. The shamans of Yurtrus are distinguished by the white gloves they wear. His subsidiary warchiefs are seen with fist-shaped maces. 

Shargaas the Night Lord is believed to be an orc of ebony skin, dark set eyes and gaunt, almost skeletal features. He is completely blind by light of day, but has the ability to see up to a mile at night. He is known as the consumate hider who cannot be spotted in anything less that full daylight. He is also said to be a gifted climber with the ability to scale any height on any surface.

Bahgtru, Son of Gruumsh is a huge, incredibly muscular orc with tan skin and dull green eyes. He does not use weapons, but relies on a pair of allegedly enchanted leather gloves, studded with iron. His tan skin is said to be immune to all blunt weapons, greatly resistant to those with edges, and subject only to those that pierce. He is an orc of immense strength, exceeding even that of the strongest giants. He is said to have once beaten a reptilian gargantuan to death with his bare hands, before making his lair in its corpse.

Ilneval the Planner, is a half-orc with a mix of bestial features and those which are unmistakeably human. A tactical genius and strategist without peer, Ilneval was responsible for most of Gruumsh's victories, where sheer strength could not have carried the day. It is said that any of the human and demi-human generals would be glad to have him at the head of thier armies. Due to his uncanny abilities, he has led his horde successfully since the death of Gruumsh, though that warchief had a son. He remains Bahgtru's greatest rival and the two hordes are often at odds with each other.
