In regards to Gruumsh making Obould an orc god. More than anything, Gruumsh wants the orcs to be strong. Does he want them to raid, conquer, and kill? Yes. But he wants them to be strong enough to do it. After a while he probably realized that orcs living in caves wasn't accomplishing that.
Beyond that; consider that Obould more or less has the same position in the orc panteon that Ilneval held in the past. Ilneval's one of the mia deities in 4e, and before that was said to be treacherous and plotting against Gruumsh. Gruumsh is a lot of things, but he isn't an idiot; putting in a loyal, capable replacement wouldn't be out of the question for him. |

... that is not the essence of Chaotic Alignment. trust me on that.
Lawful folks understand that yu can't d anything without enforcing it as well. Chaos represents an actual Freedom of Spirit, and the idea that one can do whatever he wants as long as he can get away with it.
now, Obould could still be Chaotic, yes. but also he could very easily be Lawful. he shows clear tendencies of both Alignments. I honestly think he's more of a Neutral Evil, but in a very lightly Evil kind of way. or, in contrast, I think he could be a Chaotic Neutral, with a strong bent towards True Neutral. |

Did King Obould switch alignments upon ascension?
