"...and then, the forces of Grûm will route the enemy right flank.

Dôrkor will ride along with his warg riders to cut the enemy from their supply lines, meanwhile we use a diversion in the centre to attract the attention of the elves from our movements. Any question?"

She looked to the fourty orc war chiefs sitting around her. One scratched his head, before asking.

"Zooo.... when we arre going to charrge againzt the elvez?"

"We aren't charging against the elves. Is only a distraction! We allways charge against the elves, so they will not expect our movements. Is this clear?"

"... No?"

"Ah, damn. Did somebody understood the strategy?"

"We arre we going to charrge againzt the pointy earz?" asked a warlord, raising her hand.

"No."

The warlord droped her hand then.

"Somebody get anything I said? Anybody?"

The orc chiefs didn't sas anything.

"Please: who doesn't get our strategy, please raise your hands"

...All the orcs raised their hands.

"Oh, damn this. I will explain it again.
YOU.There. Ride with wargs. Wau Wau. Ride until you see signal. Turn. Attack pointy ears from the side, NOT the front.

YOU. Go were elves keep food. Yum yum. Eat or destroy they food. As well carts, weapons and all. You smash things. Funny. PUMBA!"

"Ohhhh!!" said the orcs, understanding, as the Orc Queen continued to explain the plan...

THE ORC QUEEN

The story said, that one time in the plains of Antor, appeared an orc woman. She was the ugliest and smaller orc woman of All Antor:

However, the ugly orc was special: She was rich, and she knew things. Strange things, that other orcs didn't understood. And she had magik.

Knowing this, a warrior tossed aside the previous husband, and claimed her as one of his wives.

The orc woman was very ugly, but knew things that other orcs didn't, and make her husband a very powerful orc warrior.

Knowing this, other orc wanted the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand for himself, so he went and tossed aside the previous husband, and claimed her -and all the things of the previous husbands- as his own.

Following the advice of the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand, the warrior become very powerful: a chieftain.

Other orc chieftain, hearing about this, go to claim the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand for himself, tossing the previous husband, taking his ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand, wives and tribe.

Leader of two tribes, and adiviced by the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand, he become a very important warlord.

Until other warlord come, wanting to challenge him for his ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand:

However, this time, bored by the repetitive circunstance, the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand stand between the two warlords, and propossed something:

What if, instead challenging each other, she become the woman of both of them.

It was normal for a orc to have several wives, specially being a powerful warrior. But it was unheard of a wive with several orcs.

So the two warlords ignored her, fighting each other, but both died in each other arms.

The tribes of the dead orcs quickly began to fight to see who will be the next warlords, and when finally a chief was elected, he wanted to take the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand as one of his wives.

However, she make him promise that in she will marry with all the next warlords and chieftain that come for them, or she predicted he will be doomed as well.

Fearing for the strange things that other orcs don't understand but the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand did know, he accepted.

So in the future, each time a new challener come, ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand speaked to him, dissuading them that, rather to fight, to marry her and join forces.

The ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand became, slowly, the wive of almost all the warlords, chieftains and generals of the orcs of Antor, and all of them, sharing this wive, followed her advice.

They became then, instead of the ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand, the Orc Queen.

Almost all the orc tribes of Antor became one Horde. Under the orc queen, more orc women began to have more power, and new laws were given... it was for the first time a time of peace for the orcs of Antor, rather than of the fighting among them.

And it was boring.

The husbands of the orc queen, learning that with all their warriors together they comformed a big army, asked her to go to war, but she speaked against it.

And it was boring.

However, despise the Orc Queen didn't wanted war, others wanted: the Pointy ears feared her. The caps feared her. The kitty-people, the laughing gnolls, the Hu-mans and the hairy Kanov feared her.

And so they bringed war to the Orcs.

And that was funny.

The Orc Queen still was, in the end, ugly-orc-woman-who-know-strange-things-other-orcs-don't-understand. And she knew other ways to make war, not like orcs allways fighted... And so, the Orc Queen called to all the Orc warriors of her husbands: The Horde of Antor had gathered.

The invading armies were defeated, and sended back to their own lands: But then, the orcs advanced over them:

The Orc Queen wanted to ensure that they don't rise again against the orcs: The dwarfs were send back to their mines, and the orc queen make an alliance with the small goblins and Kaiehm orcs to keep them under their mountains.

The savage purple elves where chased into their forests, the fortified outposts of the Blazakhovian where destroyed and send back to the sands of the deserts, and the wild and high elves where defeated and pushed to the east and south:

Thilien was sacked, and the Powerful High Elven kingdom of Vanilion was about to fall:

However, the Orc Queen was too soft with their enemies. She didn't whipped them out, and this make many of her husbands angry and dissapointed. They have seen their force together, and feel like this should be the age of the orcs...

However, during the invasion of the High Elven kingdom of Vanilion, is that this felling exploded:

Instead of destroying and sacking the shiny elven cities and take their treaure, and enslaving and killing the elves to eat their bones, the Orc Queen stopped the invasion:

She have a meeting with the Elven leaders, and in exchange for a mountain of gold and the liberation of all the orc slaves, the Horde of Antor simply turned, back to Antor.

The Orc Queen had defeated all their enemies, but she didn't killed them. The orcs had gold, slaves and all they want, but they where negated the blood of their enemies.

The Orc Queen knew strange things other orcs didn't understand. But the other orcs didn't undertand the Orc Queen: And so, angry and with all the gold and slaves they ever dreamed to have, one by one, all the husbands of the ugly-orc-woman-that-the-orcs-don't-understand leaved her:

And like that, ended the rule of the Orc Queen, deserted by her followers, and the power of the orcs dissipated like mist in the morning, returning to their normal squabbles and fights.

The orcs quickly forget... but not the others, who remember with fear:

Humans, Kanovs, elves, dwarves, beast-men and many other learned that they can't afford the orcs to be united ever again, under any other Orc Queen.

I used reference as inspiration for the Orc Queen outfit: I'm afraid I don't remember where -help?- but was mostly for the cape and helmet.
