Fut'Mundas

Fut'Mundas, literally meaning "The Strongest Throne" in Orcish, is a land primarily populated by Half-orcs, and is consumed by constant conflict.

It's leadership is comprised of the Highthane, Grekka Urukshuul, and a council of ten known as The Council of Thanes.

History
Orcs once ruled as a majority over Half-orcs, but over time the Half-orcs grew in number and had a slight advantage in intelligence from the beginning. Eventually conflict broke out between the two and a war occured. The Half-orcs won and claimed Fut'Mundas, the Strongest Throne, as their own. At the end of the rebellion the leaders of the movement picked Lapus Urukshuul, a member of the movement whose charisma, wisdom, and strength shone on the battlefield, to become the first Highthane. They set it up to be a simple monarchy that gives a large amount of power, particularly military, to the Highthane, but in their wisdom also set up the "Council of Thanes" to make sure that the Highthane is kept in check. There are ten Thanes, each ruling over their own large settlement inside Fut'Mundas. Eight of them inherit their title from their family, just as the Hihgthane does, and the Highthane his/herself is allowed to appoint two. The Thanes who inherit their titles are descended from exceptional leaders of the rebellion. The two appointed from by the Highthane usually come from the royal family, such as siblings or aunts/uncles, and the Highthane can change the two appointed Thanes at any time.



The main conflict that now constantly bears its fangs down on Fut'Mundas is caused by the Su'Laug (meaning "evil eye" in Orcish), who gather worshipers of Gruumsh. These forces have been at arms with the throne and its followers, who worship Kord, for many years. The current Highthane, Grekka, spends most of her resources on suppressing the chaos that the Su'Laug cause. Bounty hunters from all over the world come to Fut'Mundas to receive her coin for the heads of members of the Su'Laug, as they have gone so far as to attempt to overthrow the crown in recent times. This civil war is ripping the lands of Fut'Mundas apart, and have been for hundreds of years. In her fear, the Highthane recently requested aid from Eupharas, Dorenlaurë, and Buldn-Hugn, and act which was seen by many as distasteful in that it shows weakness in the throne.

Although the Highthane, her family, and her followers mostly worship Kord, the chaos that almost constantly grips the land is a testament to the large number of Half-orcs that still worship Gruumsh.
