According to the Shmans of Gruk, the lands belong to orcs. A prophecy was made that when the moon was red, a promised leader would arise and receive the blessing of the Volcano of Tar-Ock-Doon. With this power, they would lead the orcs to take back their land. The orc warlord, Garzhak Steelclaw, assembled all the tribes into a war host, with the promise of driving back human and dark elf incursion into the Forgotten Lands. A large gathering called by Garzhak was called at the Volcano of Tar-Ock-Doon.

Volcano of Tar-Ock-Doon.

Hidden in the wilds of the Forgotton Lands, somewhere north of the great desert of Al Saour Asif, is valley, with a mountain as black as night at its center. The Greenskins call it Hellspeak, the Mountain of Hell. Orc shamans are said to draw magical power from the volcano and legend says that the fissure deep in the mountain leads to an infernal city.
