		Born on the hellish world of Draenor, the Orcs were brought into the kingdom of Azeroth through the dimensional gateway known as the Dark Portal and forced to make war upon the Humans.
		Yet the proud Orc clans were corrupted by the Burning Legion and used as pawns in the Legion's invasion of Azeroth.
		These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races.

	Reading Review book review - The Thousand Orcs by R. A. Salvatore
		He would hate to think that the orcs and the giants were acting at the behest of a drow army.
		The dark elf, Drizzt Do'Urden, the human female, Catti-brie, her adopted dwarf parent, Bruenor (soon to be king of the dwarves at Mithral Hall), the barbarian, Wulfgar, and the halfling, Regis, travel with a group of dwarves toward Mithral Hall for the new king's coronation.
		The orcs soon realize that they have the future king of the dwarves trapped and are determined that Bruener will not survive the attack, which will make the taking of Mithral Hall that much easier.

		Orcs are the foot soldiers of evil, the creatures that make up the hordes of darkness that threaten to overwhelm the good peoples and turn the entire land into a region of little else than slaughter and depravity.
		Orc lairs are examined, both the surface and subterranean varieties, with a close look at their layout and defense strategies.
		An orc is a fire plug of a fighting machine made of muscle, hide, talon and tusk, with a villainous disposition and a mean sense of humor.

		Unbeknownst to the Drow Elf, a group of orcs, headed by King Obould, who fancies himself an especially clever orc, has decided to join forces with a group of frost giants to lay waste to the area around the dwarven hold of Mirabar.
		Drizzt and his group stumble into the middle of a skirmish and, thinking that it's just a small group of orcs, decide that they need to do a bit of clean up work.
		What Drizzt doesn't know is that these early skirmishes are the prelude to a bigger invasion that amounts to nothing less than an all-out war.

	RPGnet : Review of The Thousand Orcs
		After a lengthy build up, the orcs attack the characters as they hole-up in a small town and try to defend it.
		With the orcs running a siege with the giants providing artillery fire, the characters are hard pressed to win, and they don’t really, as they are rescued by reinforcements from Mithral Hall.
		The Thousand Orcs is a decent novel, but not so much that it provides more than just an escape while reading it.

		Home to over twenty-five thousand rampaging orcs, Skraag is a city of pure brutality, a place of nightmare that even the bravest adventurer will fear to tread.
		Built from the ruins of an ancient dwarven stronghold the orcs themselves destroyed, the hordes of Skraag range for miles in every direction, brining slaughter and misery to any community unfortunate enough to be within range of their predations.
		For most of the orcs and goblins that dwell within Skraag, life is a misery beset by poverty and brutality.

		The Maimed Lord, the orc god Alodai, is the chief deity for those in the city and whose priests cover their faces with masks at all times.
		The disciples of the Asphibyiex, orcs themselves, have infiltrated the lake guard to be sure that their actions can be best harnessed for their cult.
		You're looking at feats that allow orcs to use their strength to bully others in bluff checks rather than any social wiles or the ability to scrounge out a living and life from almost nothing.

		The Thousand Orcs opens with a dwarven caravan being ambushed by orcs and introduces us to King Obould who is trying to unite his kin and take over the Spine of the World.

		He sends a thousand orcs to the village and is able to get 10 frost giants from Gerti to help.

	The Hunter's Blades (Forgotten Realms)
		He's an orc, and he's got a desire to take back a former citadel of his, before a batch of dwarves came along and took it while he was busy with a rival band of orcs.
		Well, with The Thousand Orcs, we're beginning a trilogy; the first book means this is as good as it gets as far as backstory-the next two will probably not be as kind.
		The Thousand Orcs is a fairly action packed story, which I've come to expect from Salvatore; it keeps the reader turning pages until the rather chilling epilogue (which is all you're getting from me until the next book is released).

		I know that a single orc or even 10 orcs is really no match for my PC but when the numbers get into the dozens those 1/2 CR orcs could, with the right tactics cause me and my party some serious problems.
		With that many orcs you are bound to get hit a few times, if of the 700, only 400 get a chance to swing (these are very generalized numbers) then 20 are going to roll a 20 and auto hit, possibly crit.
		And yes we were in a cramped underground complex, under attack by orcs with missile weapons while standing in the middle of an insect plague trap.

	Review of THE THOUSAND ORCS by R. A. Salvatore
		Bruenor doesn't count on an alliance between the orcs and the frost giants of the north.
		Early on in the novel, it appeared that orc King Obould would break out of the traditional orc stupidity mode and actually develop intelligent plans to do serious damage to the orcs and humans that oppose him.
		Like many Wizards of the Coast novels, THE THOUSAND ORCS has something of the feel of a role-playing adventure--a small party of adventurers is thrust into an escalating adventure where more and more enemies are gradually introduced.

		Continues the adventures of the Dark Elf hero, Drizzt Do'Urden, as an invasion of orcs sweeps across the Spine of the World, separating him from the friends on whom he has long relied and forcing him to draw on his own inner resources.
		The Thousand Orcs is another in the excellent line of R.A Salvatore books on the adventures of the 'heroes of the hall', with Drizzt, Catti-brie, Bruenor Battlehammer, Wulfgar, and Regis once again setting out to right the evils of the world.
		There are a thousand Orcs in it, a few giants, and lots of battles, as she would expect with the title of the book.

		As the title and the cover art suggest, the orcs will go to war with their enormous allies and it's obvious who will save the day.
		As the orcs pour through the Spine of the World, the stout race will have to fend off the coming invasion with all the might they can muster.
		I know that 'A Thousand Orcs' is gaming novel at its core, but nonetheless, if you going talk about interpersonal relationships please go the whole nine yards.

	GameBanshee Forums - The Thousand Orcs Review
		Unfortunately for the dwarves, an orc leader is rallying the various orc tribes in an allegience with a band of frost giants.
		Traditionally, DandD orcs are tribal by nature and although among the smartest of the goblinoid races, aren't given to cooperation unless by a very powerful leader, something the orc king doesn't appear to be.
		The orcs in the book are also generally smarter than I usually give them credit for, something which is perhaps my fault and not Salvatore's.

		No, she might not be a virgin, but neither is Catti-Brie, and at least Drizzt doesn’t have to work very hard to fill up the massive hole that was left in her by a barbarian.
		The hall is surrounded by thousands of orcs and the king is just going to run out of there to find Drizzt, leaving his kin to fend for themselves?
