Help me with a necromancy friendly Orc tribe.


Advice


I need some help with a Orc tribe.This tribe will be found in the Hold of Belkzen I do not have a name for them yet. This tribe is still loyal to Tar-Baphon. I am needing some fluff ideas on how this group functions and how the other tribes view them. The link is to the wiki for the tribes of Belkzen.

The main reason is I have a half orc player who was born in the Hold of Belkzen. He is the son of the tribes leader and a paladin of Iomedea. His mother was a captive. He was taken away as a child, saved by his mothers animal companion. He grew up in Taldor among the druids.

I am wanting this tribe to still keep ties with Tar-Baphon because he is the games BBEG and I think the player will have a blast with it. Besides this is all fated to happen so all of my players have deep ties back to Tar-Baphon they just have not figured them out yet.

Any suggestions on the tribe would be greatly appreciated. Orc tribes are not something I am familiar with.

Thank you in advance

..Orcs for Orcus?

If I had to homebrew a tribe, I would go for the OFO.

Ok, looking through some wikis, the Skittering Ravager tribe seems to have some necromantic relations. Mostly, they got their heads scrambled when they came across some magically infused meteor, with a classic 'and they liked it' element despite losing a bunch of men. So you could make a potential subsection of shamans that turned to necromancy (both due to curiosity of the tribe and to bolster their ranks after the loss of warriors), and they could have gotten in touch with some whispering tyrant worshippers.


Shamelessly poking my own thread!


Shargaas is the Orcish deity of (among other) undeath in the Forgotten Realms setting - maybe you can pilfer some of their ideas?
