Prompts

Name Origin: Orctongue (inspired by Mandarin phonetics) — a powerful orcish house of naval dominance and martial investment.
Industry: Shipbuilding, private navies, weapons manufacturing.
History: Originated as a pirate flotilla in the Shattered Age. Was the first non-human house to be elevated by Suentius, who admired their discipline and efficiency.
Dark Age Sins: Sold naval contracts to both the Dark Empire and its resistance. Used war as a profit engine, engineering shipwrecks to loot cargo and resell salvaged goods as “merchant defense contracts.”
Change in Ledger: Only one surviving admiral, Korgha Drogash, remains from before the purge. Her loyalty to Suentius may have saved her. Most others were executed. The house was restructured into a semi-legitimate arms syndicate, still operating in morally grey waters.
Present Persona: Present themselves as “Mercatia’s Shield”, offering mercenary fleets and defensive contracts. Some claim they maintain pirate privateers in secret.
