Mishrak

This urbanised and sophisticated orcish kingdom is in the very northeast of the Western Marches. To its west is its chief rival, Nadrak, and to the south, the Barony of Karne. The kingdom is very densely populated. Although it is hilly and only 40 miles square, it is home to over 150,000 orcs. All adults are enlisted in the army. Most of the raw recruits serve in the fields or the mines, providing supplies for the armies and towns. Because of the dense population, there is no land to support horses or large livestock. Mishrak can put over 10,000 crack infantry in the field at any one time, and another 50,000 fighting militia in defence of its homelands. Mishrak is usually at war with Nadrak or DeBourgnac. In return for trade, and technological and logistical assistance from Karne, Mishrak rarely invades it.
