Local orc tribe, the Bloodtalon. Had a long accommodation with the local humans.

• Grolthk, leader of the tribe
• Helgu, masked witch doctor - trouble started after he came to some power in the tribe.
• Outcasts think Bloodtalon were trying to steal the magic from the magical acorn.

The Outcasts (?)

• Killed Bloodtalon in the grove even the Bloodtalon had double their number.
• Mozark was a half-orc of some prestige (cleric of Szuriel) in this tribe but was killed at the grove.
• No nore names, but we suspect they operate in bands led by a half-orc and are the ones using the dead drops.
• Took Mozark's left hand with them.

Others

• Unknown orc contact in Rustknoll. Dwarf? Someone is providing info to the orcs about the party's movement.
• Some cult was around 13 years ago. Orcs kidnapped Asha wanting a pure maiden to sell to this cult.
• Quickling in town threatening the party and trying to kill them when they venture out (with apparent foreknowledge). Doesn't seem affiliated with the Outsiders/Blacktusk or the fox's crew.
• Intelligent fox watching the area (including the party) and awakening trees to guard the village and protect ?Rickan?.
