Chapter 36
The Grimtusk Clan

Tusked, slab-shouldered orc raiders who hold the Sered Spur in war-bands, taking what the stone will not give and pressing the smaller beast-folk off their warrens.
The orcs of the Sered Spur do not raid for need so much as for the order of things: the strong take, the weak give ground, and a war-band that is not pushing outward is dying. The Grimtusk Clan is the largest of them, and the most feared, because Grimtusk the Tyrant won the right to the name the orc way — by out-killing every chief who would not kneel and notching his cleaver once for each. He has driven the goblins off three warrens and the Stoneborn off two fords, and reckons the Spur his by the only law he respects. He is old for an orc, which means every orc who tried to replace him is dead.
