I wonder what would happen if some demon prince actually managed to unite the Tanar`ri. How would the Baatezu handle the combined fury of the Abyss? It`s true what you say about orcs and goblins lacking organisatory talents, but it seems as if they are remeding that lack(King Obould Many-arrows)
It's true that King Obould isn't the same as the rest of his kin... But that doesn't mean the orcs are becoming more organized anywhere else. He's one orc. An influential orc, certainly, but still just one orc. Once he dies, his kingdom will likely crumble.
He's simply a fluke among his race.
An Orcish Shaka Zulu or Genghis Khan? Hmm, if he has an intelligent enough son (or worse, a few of them who can cooperate) the Silver Marches might find themselves with a big problem on their hands.
I actually find this quote a bit offensive. I hope you didn't mean that Genghis or Shaka Zulu were flukes among their races. Please think before posting, I could cite a dozen examples off the top of my head that would make that real life analogy look silly... which it is. |

Anyway,I'm placing my bet on the Army of Gold.
Have we not information on this in the GHotR? Me thinks so....... 1383 DR - Year of the Vindicated Warrior: - 'The War of Gold and Gloom comes to an unexpected end'. They unite and together marsh towards Shanatar to reclaim the lost kingdom!
Just wanted to throw this in..........

I have a feeling that the kingdom of dark arrows is here to stay.

To be fair to Wooly;
There's no real reason, canonically, to suspect that the orc kingdom would last beyond Obould. Obould was always described as an exception to the rule and the very dogma of Gruumsh tends to drive orc culture away from building such a kingdom.
In other words, in order for it to make sense then a Deux Ex Machina nees to come into play. Or Gruumsh needs some retconning. Or because no one really cares about orcs it won't be explained. Or he'll have an uber-bad kid who's teh kick butt orc dude! |

Agreed, and I thought Obould starting a "civilized" kingdom was already a stretch. |
