So these are a kind of crafter (and thief-rogue?) caste?

Good point. I was only thinking in terms of visiting the next village or going to market. Either way, they both draw a distinction between "hearth-bound" orcs and roaming ones.

Yeah, it should be a big deal. I was just wondering how to reconcile that with the long timeframe. I was originally considering 3000 years ago for the Ancients myself, but then stumbled across that 7000 year figure. And relics from the war makes a lot of sense- it was probably their weapons or pieces of armour that their shamans bound their spirits to before their sacrifice.
