I like this concept. It seems to fit the Cidri version of orcs really well, though TBH, I never cared for the default presentation for the race in TFT. Orcs work OK in many fantasy settings, but they felt unnecessary in TFT since they are mechanically no different from humans. In my campaign, I chose to buff up hobgoblins to fill the role occupied by orcs... plus they now make excellent muscle for their overlords in the Goblin empires.
