Thoughts/Theories: Orchish Threat...
Anyone notice how the Orcs seem to be a rising threat? They also seem to be coming from the south. What if every group of Orcs we have encounter are all smaller scout/war parties that prelude a greater force? Let's look at the groups we have seen so far.
•The Shrine of The Ancients
This group appears to be the smallest group who have set up base in the Temple Shrine east of Weirdwood. They seem to lack a Boss. I beleive they may have been the earliest scout team sent to the region, now waiting for the rest of the horde.
•The Temple of Qetesh
This was a sizable group led by an orc boss named Urakh, on his way north he cut through the Swamp razing Caleah's village to the ground before setting his eyes on the Forgotten Valley. He drove out the Goblins from their Stronghold & then attacked Grug at the Temple. After his death (& the death of his clansmen) all seems fine but later another smaller group attacked. Wether these are survivors seeking revenge or another smaller warband that planed to meet up with Urakh as reinforcements (only to find resistence) is unclear
•The Dark FForet
Another sizable group who are first seen when seeking Molly. These seem to be scouts, as the main force led by a Boss arrive sometime later. They take residence in the Orc Tower & attack MC's family farm (killing everyone & kidnapping Julia). They also killed Taurus, taking Molly who died in captivity after birthing her child. And Orcs are shown to be an upcoming threat in the Cow Update so we are not finished with them yet...
This makes me beleive that the Orcs are making a bid for the region or at least a larger force is on it's way. I would love to, at some point, have to deal with the looming threat of a powerful orcish War-Boss who is making a drive to attack the region. I feel they are coming from the Southen part of the map so if they are included they should be there. The Swamp makes me beleive the south of the map may be warmer, more humid, so could be cool of we find them in a battered Badlands region (a dusty, desert border if you will) littered with Orc encampments. Also defeating the War-Boss could give MC access to his orc wife... just saying
