The Hidden Phoenix Clan

The clan of the Hidden Phoenix is the clan that Dorak the Leopard had come from. Thus this is the clan where leadership traditionally hails from. It is called the Hidden Phoenix because the orcs used to hunt firebirds and they were an elusive bird. The current Warchief -- Warchief Unglak -- hails from this clan and is the leader of the Orcish Horde. But he's holding back the Horde, while the elders say they should expand into the Caucasus Mountains and take territory away from the Pelagasiri elves.

The Warchief does not want open warfare with the elves yet. He wants the orcs to be pulled together in one cohesive whole, and attacks by the elves aren't helping with this endeavor. However, War Marshall Gronark has other ideas about what to do about the elves. He wants to pull the orcs together to attack the elves and to drive them from their homes at any cost.
