Lore:Gortwog

Gortwog gro-Nagorm is the Orc-lord of Orsinium. He founded the independent nation of Orsinium for the orcish race in 3E 399. For centuries prior to this date, the Orcs had been homeless. He bought the letter Emperor Uriel Septim VII sent to Queen Mynisera of Daggerfall, and which was stolen by the Thieves Guild. His motivations were to use the letter as a pledge to bargain more independence for Orsinium. His name is derived from a patronymic (father's name); Nagorm was his father. See How Orsinium Passed to the Orcs for more information.
