What then is known of the Mor'gamoot, except that they first began to show up in written records some four hundred years ago? Many things in fact. Mostly a great collection of Orcs spread throughout the lands, who follow their god Mooshti, or Moot, a fallen god no doubt. They are centered in Nasgrush Zedrugh, which five to six hundred years ago was known as Rakedermark. It is no doubt a strong Dwarven fortress, nothing truly on the level of Valonmark, but prominent nonetheless. They have come to take a four other Dwarven holds: two were abandoned, one was surrendered, one was conquered.
The Mor'gamoot of course then are centered in this land of mountains and drylands, relying on great underwater rivers for fishing and water, and on the hunting of the great variety of wildlife that dwells in the area. They rely to on food imported from other places, traded for minerals, for metals, for forged products and artisan goods, made by both Dwarf and Orc. It appears that the Dwarves still run their fortresses, but rarely are they seen by outsiders. The Orcs live in sprawling camps, often migrating, in their homelands, living in the hinterland of the 'Five Holds of the Fallen God'- 'Blek Teri r dur Perch Gad' in Orcish.
But whilst the area dominated by the Five Holds is ruled over from those holds, and from the capital of Nasgrush Zedrugh, 'Blek Teri r dur Perch Gad', or the Orcish Kingdom of Nasgrush, the clans from these lands, the followers of the Fallen God, known as the Morgamoosh, go far beyond these lands. Reverting back to the traditional living styles of the Orcs, Morgamoosh orcs travel far and wide in small groups and clans, ranging from single families to significant nomadic villages even numbering as great as several hundred. Looking like many other orcs, with pale skins, with skins the colour of ash, or of browns of greens, they are often remarkable for their wearing of furs or other animal trophies, and for their many scars, brands, tattoos, or face paints, which come as a result of various religious rituals and cultural traditions. Face paints are often of red, white, and black, in various patterns. Whilst the colour of tattoos varies, often dependent on the skin colour of a given Orc, the patterns often depict the skulls of various animals, or swirling geometric patterns.
Morgamoosh Orcs face a diverse variety of reactions, including the traditional orc phobias of many, religious sentiments of anger, or begruding respect for their prowess. Although what is known of the Morgamoosh is mixed with lies, myths, legends, slander, and praise, a few things can be pieced together. It would appear that the Morgamoosh worship a very real Fallen God, and are often desperate for HIM as they refer to it, to notice them. This god is secluded away deep in Nasgrush, but occasionally bestows favour and power upon those who suitably impress HIM. According to rumour, he is in fact a mortal god, though why this is, or what this means, is still widely questioned. Nonetheless, occasionally, by which it is meant, rarely, he grants some of his power and long lifespan, to others, to his own champions, but these are very rare. A Morgamoosh Orc though, well chances are they are desperate to be a champion of HIM.
It would appear that this Fallen God though is repentant of rebellion against the One, and wishes to come into forgiveness with Him.
As such, there is no unified reaction from the Church of the One. Often, racial or political sentiments, or abhorrence at some of the cultural traditions of the Morgamoosh play a role as much as any theological perspective. They are not non-believers, and ultimately view their own god as created by the One, but they do not necessarily directly worship the One, even if they revere him. Equally, by way of proving himself to The One, it would appear that the Fallen God of the Morgamoosh desires to protect mortals from Eldritch and Chaotic beings. Although not paladins, many Morgamoosh will spend their time hunting monsters, dangerous wild animals, and fighting Eldritch, Chaotic, and Demonic beings, or otherwise attacking the lovers, summoners, and worshippers of those things. So the Morgamoosh are not religious enemies of The Church of the One, and face mixed reactions.
The Morgamoosh seek to prove themselves to their Fallen God, who in turn seeks to prove himself to The One. Sacrifices of themselves or others to the Fallen God appear to strengthen him and earn favour, as does assisting the Fallen God attain forgiveness, and apparently immortality again from The One. To think that there is theological agreement about whether this is actually going to work is as absurd as attempting to write a treatise on whether the Morgamoosh are morally good or not.
In some ways the Morgamoosh are like other Orcs, with strong traditions of favouring the group about the self, being fine artisans, living as nomads, and having strong beliefs in honour and the settling of grievances. Equally their traditions are much harsher, often involving ritualistic bloodletting, scarring, or branding, sacrificing their own lives, blood, or happiness to strengthen their god, who can thus fight against the enemies of The One, and the enemies of the Mortals, The One's perceived favorites creations.
Orcs of Morgamoosh can often be found travelling as part of their nomadic clans, setting up temporary camps, or living outside of major cities. One might even find them living alone living a seemingly normal life inside any multi-cultural city. Nomadic groups are often hired as mercenaries, caravan guards, bounty-hunters, protective militias, or as hunters and trackers. They may be encouraged to settle and apply their trades of craftsmanship in exchange for gold. Some engage in their own craftsmanship and trading, buying low, selling high, always moving. Others engage in practices of raiding and captive taking, to earn the approval of their God. They face diverse reactions because of this diverse array of practices.
A complex group no doubt. A complex variety of reactions to them also. Perhaps the only way to get to know the Morgamoosh as a collective... is to get to know an Orc of Morgamoosh.
