Outlaw Tribe



The Outlaw Tribe is a faction of the most rebellious members of the Orc population. These orcs carried a deep contempt of 'all those who would rule them, be they foreign invaders or Lords of Mordor. They are intensely proud and consider themselves members of the ultimate race. The Outlaw Tribe envisions Mordor as a sovereign land belonging only to orcs, though their aspirations extend far beyond Mordor and they hunger for the day when they can take their to Middle-Earth. Other Orcs see them as a rebellious, scrappy, and dangerous tribe who are just as likely to attack invading armies as they are to turn on Sauron and claim Mordor for themselves. They take an opportunity to espouse their message of defiance against foreign races and lesser Orcs.

War of the Ring
At the time when the War of the Ring erupted across Middle-Earth, the Orcs of the Outlaw Tribe had retreated west in Eriador and had been spending their lives working as mercenaries for hire. Currently led by Ogg, the Outlaw Orcs were not on the side of Mordor and didn't owe their loyalty to either Sauron or Saruman. The Outlaw Tribe had many mercenaries of the Outlaw Tribe that were offered by Halbarad to join the Grey Company, but refused since they were hired by Lord Denethor II of Gondor and began marching south to the southern kingdom. Despite getting a big fair payment, the Outlaw Tribe reinforced Minas Tirith's defenses against the Host of Minas Morgul.
