Orchiag

Orchiag is a nation during the Dark Age.

The only orc empire in history, Orchiag was formed on the island of Damasa under the rule of three dragons and quickly spread north, conquering lands from the dwarves and gnomes (and to some extent also the elves). It founded many of the cities later conquered by humans from the Empire, such as Thelmis, Ethon, Mandol, Duridal, Arkan, Gwerdol, Manderhall and Warhall although they had different names at the time. At its maximum extent it controlled the regions of Damasa, Gothia, Murgos and Wargoria with the exception of the island of Usabia.

Orchiag survived into the Age of Steel as a few city-states: Egarga, Nargor, Wierkrag and Rhegor-Thurk. All but Egarga was destroyed in the early Age of Knowledge. The city remained the only independent bastion of the orcs as part of the Kingdom of Murgosa, which lasted until the forming of the Union.
