Orc Strongholds are scattered throughout Tamriel but most of them are located in Skyrim, High Rock, and Hammerfell. The Orcs have lived in Skyrim for centuries in tribal communities based around Strongholds.

Orcs here live according to the rule of Malacath. Malacath, as Daedric Prince of the Orcs, is worshipped in these places.

An Orc Stronghold may be created with at least 4+ Orcs. Orcs that have established a Stronghold get access to a new Class, Orc Chieftain. 

Concept Flaw: Orc Strongholds are extremely Xenophobic, and will turn away any non orc, unless the visitor is able to complete a task, typically difficult, for the Stronghold. 

Orc strongholds will not tolerate any settlers within 1 and 1/2 grid squares of their Stronghold, and will result to violence to be rid of them if needed.
