The orcs’ camps in the Obsidian Desert — the ones who stayed behind when the armies went to Glaive Port.
Founded: c. year 400 (Second Age), by Atlas · Where: the Obsidian Desert
Story
Atlas raised the Orcs in the desert around year 200 — living for glory and war, with their warrior order the Sandborn — and around year 300 made them masters of war beasts and raised an army in the south-eastern desert. Around year 400 he founded their War Camps in the Obsidian Desert. Around year 500 the Doombringer (Hollow Knight) raised the orcs a second army. Nearby, Sylvanus made the south-eastern sands grow crystals, and the first mines opened.
Around year 600, the Hollow Knight led both armies and their war beasts against Glaive Port and took it. But the orcs who had stayed in the desert said that is not the way: they gathered the magic crystals of the sands and fused them into a great obelisk in their central war camp — the Final End (Atlas).
Now
No armies left. The desert orcs, good but fanatical, keep the Final End.
