Jolagh

Jolagh the Cleaver was an orcish warlord of legendary prowess. Around P.I. 350 he united the squabbling orc clans of Aegeron and led them on a decade of conquests, toppling the neighboring human kingdoms, even sacking Ylsalon, capital of Londar. His dream was the creation of a mighty Cleaver Empire.

But his dream was never realized as even someone as great as him could be felled by the poisoned arrow of an elf assassin. After his death his successors promised vengeance, but soon the nature of orcs won out and after much infighting the orcs reverted back to their old way.

But the deeds of Jolagh were not in vain, although he could not give the orcs the empire they deserved, he gave them an identity. Since those days their descendants, regardless of tribe, all identify as Cleaver Orcs.
