Swamp Dwelling Orcs

Saw a post on Reddit that got me thinking. Orc Strongholds are said to be found through out Tamriel. But so far I can only recall known Orc Strongholds running the western and northern regions of Tamriel. Is there any lore that points to Orcs making it into the south eastern regions of Tamriel? A swamp orc clan?

Would be cool to have a very exotic tribal orc's in the future. There is a lot of Blackmarsh left so Im sure we might come across some, hey they might be some lore added that there is a small kingdom somewhere....or a hist has tried to get some orcs to use as their own......would be cool. But I don't think there is any in lore yet, not that I've come across anyway.

No one wants to go to the swamps, even Orcs.

I say that jokingly, but actually just ran across something earlier this morning that said "Even after the plague passed, non-Argonians tended to avoid Black Marsh out of fear", in reference to the Knahaten Flu.

If we take a look at the amount of Black Marsh we currently have access to in ESO. We are actually able to go quite deep into the region via Shadowfen and Murkmire.

I don't expect to see npc elves and men running around Helstrom when we finally have that region added to the game. But I don't think its too far of a stretch of the imagination that a clan of Orcs were able to cut their way into the region and settle in the area. They are probably the most resilient race in the lore and continue to thrive in just about every climate that Tamriel has to offer. It would be interesting to see not just Orcs but maybe goblins and orgres as well.
