You ever sacked one of these shitholes? Let me tell you, never have the officers' orders to keep looting to a minimum been easier to obey. They've got nothing. NOTHING. My first time in an Orc City I realized the real cause of their poverty. They have no economy. Everything they have is pure extraction or theft. Sure an orc might beat some iron into the rough shape of a sword, Orcs might enslave other orcs and force them to strip mine something, but they have no developed craftsman class, no real engineers, no system of finance, everything is just a brute-force industry to get weapons so that they can go rob actual people.

I fucking hate these vermin. I cannot IMAGINE how much the humans who share borders with them must hate them. Complete--I mean it, COMPLETE subsapient life. And good luck exterminating them, I've seen them bury themselves in mud and hide for days at a time, just waiting for danger to pass so that they can come back out and start scavenging again. We need to develop some kind of ground-penetrating magic detection system to find these things and wipe them out entirely. Nobody is safe until the last Orc is dead. Nothing is as reviled as the orc--and rightly so.
