12.2.7.3 THE VILLAGE OF ACKNOR

Situated north of the Balach Swamp, Acknor is one of the more recent villages to rise to prominence, settled by the more intelligent orcs who managed to rise above the savagery they inherited by the Taint. Though carnivorous themselves, they have developed a lucrative market in the farming industry, through enslaving furrikin farmers and selling agricultural products to nearby Magnagora. Despite the civilized nature of these orcs, they are still a barbaric people, who believe that might makes right. Subsequently, the Chieftain of Acknor often changes through trial by combat. It is not uncommon for the challenger to reward any who help claim this prestigious position.
