Emruite Tribe

The Emruites are a large, civilized tribe of orcs living in a handful of settlements in the south Greenkeep. The tribe is most famous for bartering for peace with the Nester clan and sealing the treaty with a number interspecies marriages, becoming the Noble House of Bulls. The tribe is currently led by Emru's great-grandnephew, Kyrkorun.

Formation and Peacemaking
The tribe was formed by the orc warlord Emru, who ravaged human and elf settlements in Doelle in the 750s. After several years of war, in a shocking display of foresight, an aging Emru bartered for peace with the Noble House of Nester, and the treaty was sealed in 762. The Noble House Nester's strong warrior sons made for good matches with Emruite women, and within twenty years, both groups had dozens of half-orcs in their ranks. Many of the fiercer Nesters still marry Emruites.
