Is it like the detail given in the player's guide for Giantslayer AP of Tranau... Map, major NPCs, major locations etc?
Thank you
Great, thx!

These four were mine! *squee*
LOL... I'm actually very proud of them. Can't wait to see them in action!
I also did a bunch of orc tribes but I don't yet know which ones made it into the book (My contributor copy isn't here yet). Can someone with the PDF just quickly list all the tribes, and I'll point out which ones were mine?

I will say thank you then as I will be using a Warcat of Rull as my Hunters companion.

So, this is awesome and I hate that I have to wait for the end of February. How much detail do they go into with the tribes? Also, any new items or something like that? What about the major powers of belkzen? Any word on their motivations or movements?
Tribes are only detailed so much as this is the leader and here is how they act. Some are a little bigger then others but most of the tribes are only about a quarter of a page. There are a few new things like the orc war machines, Siege Engine Ammo, mounts, and there gear. I really have not got into major powers of belkzen the closets thing is the tribes but I have not fully read through the Gazetteer yet.

How much info is there on orc gods? Any standout god lore that grabbed you?
The gods have a half page write up like normal for the campaign setting line. The one that I liked the most was Rull the Thunderer. I did a spoiler on him earlier.
I also liked Sezelrian the God of Fire.
He is also the god that gave orcs intelligence and is the orc god of magic. His picture is pretty cool. He looks like an Orc Witch Doctor with a heavy mace that has sparks and smoke but does not have burn.

Storm-Screamers of Rull <- This one was mine. None of the other names are the same as the ones I submitted, but it's possible the developer changed the names of one or two others. :)
Twisted Nail
Wingripper
Can't wait to get the book so I can see the descriptions of all of these!

I know it's mainly about orcs in Belkzen, but are there any references to other orcs in Avistan? Perhaps mentioned in the history/timeline of tribes that emerged from the Darklands and moved onto elsewhere?
For that look at the Orcs of Golarion book.

It's possible Inner Sea Races will cover some of this too? [/speculatory]

If you're interested in playing one for Giantslayer, I can offer supplementary material for the Bloodied Gauntlet(some) and the Burning Suns(a lot) to help you fit into that campaign. I'm sure the creators of the Ice Tooth and Storm Screamer tribes will have some advice too!
The Burning Suns sound interesting. What can you share?

A lot. :) It will need to wait until after the street date though, and does need the disclaimer up front that whatever isn't in the book isn't official canon.
I can go ahead and say that

Well, that about does it. My PC for Giantslayer will either be a Burning Suns barbarian, or a Half-Orc offspring of a Burning Suns warrior and priest of Sarenrae. :)

Thank you for sharing all the info Brad2411! :-)
Any more settlement info beyond Freedomtown?
How much pages is the section and how detailed is it?
Is there an NPC section including Grask Uldeth or other warchiefs with full stats?
Thx for your time

An interesting bit - the orc deities all grant four domains and four subdomains.
Which means they're actually CR 26-30ish demigods, rather than true gods.
Also, I'll admit grinning at the Dead Eye tribe's entry and their god.
@ Major_Blackhart - Dretha, Nulgreth (Blood for the Blood God!), Sezelrian, and Zagresh the Destroyer all have artwork. You've already seen Dretha's art on the blog.

Ok, this is awesome information. Is there further information on them and their cults or just little blurbs?
Also, what about the big two that EVERYONE in Belkzen talks about, Rovagug and Gorum?
There are so many questions I need to ask but won't because I want to read it all. DAMMIT!!
Edit: Also, the # of domains doesn't necessarily denote demi-god status. The Giant Pantheon, Dwarven Pantheon, Alseta, Brigh, Hanspur, Naderi, etc have 4 domains each. It simply means that they're lesser gods than the big ones. Don't know what that actually means, but it just means that they have less influence maybe or are limited in followers or something.

No, 4 domains means a being of demi-god level power. This includes Demon Lords, Archdukes, Horsemen, Empyreal Lords, Elemental Lords etc.
Any divine being with only 4 domains is a Demi-god, while any divine being with 5 domains is a true deity.

Sounds promising! Thank you!

I really want there to be more weapons with the word Orc in front of them. Would make orc is weapon proficiency even more awesome.
Since this is a Campaign Setting title, most of the information contained within is fluff, although there is a chapter on orc war machines.

Requisite Disclaimer: This isn't official canon but:
As they've painted a big target on their backs with their earlier crusades(especially the disastrous attempt to take Scarwall), any connections with Trunau, if any at all, are kept quiet though Halgra lends what aid or wisdom she can to her one-time student. The speculative whispers that Halgra is the "father" of Mahja's aasimar child are kept even more closely guarded.

Thanks Mikaze that works my friend decided to play a half orc druid from the Burning suns and he has made himself an unofficial ambassador. So I am working on some ways to put that into the ap.

I know. I just would have liked a mention of something, not necessarily stats, that would maybe bring a little anticipation for later releases.

As their god of magic, does Sezelrian look like he would be fit for worship by a witch doctor...or does he appear to be more on the divine end of things ?
Witch doctors would be perfect for Sezelrian. He is depicted as an orc witch doctor. They say that all orcs that use magic, of any kind, owe thanks to him no matter the god they actually worship.
Is there a map in this book which shows where Trunau is in relation to the other settlements of Belkzen?
Yes it does have a map that shows the different sites. It is the inside cover of the book.

What does Nulgreth look like?
Nulgreth has a pic in here but his is depicted as an Orc Barbarian with blood red skin with his bloody double axe.
Which settlements do get stats inside?
I´ll buy this next wednesday but i´m curious.
Sadly there will be no poster map available of Belkzen... :-(
Blisterwell, Wyvernsting, Urgir, and Freedom Town.
