Orc Warboss

Any orc can lead one band. A warboss leads four at once and settles feuds faster than they form, because he is the one fighter all four would lose to. He runs the confederation as a campaign with supply, a line of march and sieges that last months. The spoils are agreed in advance on a board every band can read.
