Formerly known as Vor Scheral, the Orcish Wastes lie on the frozen northwestern shores of Duria. The orcish horde that founded Vor Scheral was beaten back to the Wastes early in the Fourth Age of Man, but the human armies have not been able to fully dislodge the orcish clans from the Divian Peninsula. The armies of Ciritasnia seem content to leave the Waste to the orcs and have recently begun constructing a large defensive wall from the Frostmire Swamp to the Divian Mountains to keep the orcs at bay.
