	The [[Imperial Orcs]] have never really had land before. Living an itinerant life between armed camps and barracks, camping with the [[~~Imperial army~~\|armies]] on campaign ... all that has changed now. For many Imperial Orcs, especially the youngest and the oldest, [[Skarsind]] represents an opportunity to live an entirely new kind of life - a life of stability.		The [[Imperial Orcs]] have never really had land before. Living an itinerant life between armed camps and barracks, camping with the [[Army\|armies]] on campaign ... all that has changed now. For many Imperial Orcs, especially the youngest and the oldest, [[Skarsind]] represents an opportunity to live an entirely new kind of life - a life of stability.

	This is not to say that the orcs have undergone a change to their nature; they are still warriors, still bound to each other by [[Orc#Psychology\|instinctual]] ties. They are simply focusing their decades of experience in military procurement, battlefield engineering, and last-ditch medicine, on a new serious of problems. In particular, groups of orcs such as those who inhabited the main Imperial Orcs training camp in [[Semmerholm#Estmure\|Estcastle]] have arrived in Skarsind and set to work establishing a new base of operations for themselves.

	Orcs do not like to work in [[mine\|mines]]. It reminds them of [[Imperial_Orcs_history\|the centuries they spent as slaves]] - and it reminds their [[Imperial_Orcs_religious_beliefs#Imperial_Orc_ancestors\|ancestors]] as well. Orcs often experience the angry tirades of their ancestors when they work underground, and this discourages them even more from taking up pick and shovel. However, there is never any shortage of people prepared to dig ore out of rock for a good day's pay - and the Imperial Orcs have the chance to take advantage of that.
