The Orcgate Wars

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A series of conflicts which took place in eastern Faerûn beginning in -1076 DR and ending in -1069 DR. Narfell, Raumathar, Thay, and Chessenta had not yet been founded, but the nations now known as the First Empires of Mulhorand and Unther were shaken and subsequently entered a period of decline which lasted until about -150 DR.

In the aftermath of this event, orcs were exterminated across the lands of Mulhorand and Unther. Even today, the only place in the Old Empires where they can survive in any numbers is within the Akanapeaks. In the cities of Mulhorand and Unther, orcs are attacked on sight.
