Sub-Species:
The term "Uruk-Hai" ("High Orcs") covers all Orcs that are the products of the breeding programmes and ruthless survival-of-the-fittest culture of Hell. Other elite breeding programmes exist (with some cross-breeding with Hell); for example in the elite Imperial Guard units of the Greater Orcish Empire, members of which may effectively be treated as Uruk-Hai (and affect the name for themselves).
Place of Origin: the Breeding Pits of Hell
Present Territory: Hell, but may be encountered wherever Hellish forces are operating or have in the past operated (as despite their elite status, there are always deserters). Small groups or individuals may therefore be encountered in the North West Forest or the Dungeons, following the campaigns there.
with Language Points ("LP") for Know / Fluent / Read
Hellish Orcish: 2/6/- (Orcish has no written form)
Hellish Orcish is a dialect of Orcish rather than a separate language in its own right. To learn it if one is already Fluent in another Orcish dialect therefore requires +1/+3/-.
