After the tumultuous events of ORCS!: The Curse, the Orc tribe's dynamic has been changed forever by new allies and unexpected alliances. The Crows have taken up permanent residence on the eastern slope, and the elves are popping in for occasional visits. Chief Hrogragah is also struggling with the loss of his arm, while Pez has somehow acquired some concerning new magical abilities.
Meanwhile, the Crows' old boss, the Wizard, is still out there somewhere… possessed by the dark entity that devastated the Known World centuries prior, and was defeated by the Orcs greatest warrior, the legendary Drod One-Eye. While the Wise Woman and the elves' Mother Tree fought off the evil in the past, will they be able to once again, when it's more powerful than ever?
Orcs! creator Christine Larsen (Adventure Time) returns for one last romp with the gang of miscreant misfits that fans have been waiting for!
