**An orc, a troll horde, and a stolen dreadnought walk into an empire.** Korgath is Warchief now. It is a worse job than it sounds. The Grey Tusk survivors and Skarn's Duskmaw trolls hate each other roughly as much as they hate the humans. His own council of elders would rather die on ancestral ground than take orders from a cross-species army.
