For some time now the Marchers have been marching steadily towards embracing the Mournwold Orcs, the former Jotun thralls who still occupy some of the best land in the territory. There were clear similarities between them and their neighbours: a shared appreciation of a hard day's graft, a deep-seated love of the land, a refusal to put on airs and graces. There were problems however, deep theological problems. The Mournwold Orcs believe they reincarnate which flatly contradicts Doctrine (although, admittedly, slightly less than it used to). Attempts to resolve this problem made no progress, but at the recent summit, the priests of the Marcher Assembly crossed the rubicon and said to hell with it - these people are Marcher - we'll deal with Doctrine later.
