The heart of the Evil Army consists of enslaved or tricked denizens of Ogre Island. When the Fire Isle Mages discovered the swampland, they moved an outpost to the Bay of Tusks, which sits in the middle of the island, directly west of Juan’kij. Used as a military outpost during the Hundred Year War, it was later turned into a large encampment of Orcs, who took the area over when the Mages lost the war. The island itself is made of a loose connection of villages with various orc tribes and leaders all vying for power. Ogres, the larger causing of Orcs, and less intelligent, prefer to fight for whoever can beat them in battle. Orc Chieftains who need or want Ogre’s on their side must tame them in combat. If they die, then they were not worthy of both their allegiance or their leadership role. Trolls live in the swampland, and a pock-marked and brutal killing machines. Often seen as the elves of the swamp, they also rule with a loose connection of leadership and tribes. War between the various species on the island keeps them from growing too much too fast, however, there have been factions that have left the island, to settle elsewhere in Xonthian.
