Orcs whose ancestors reached the surface in the Mwangi Expanse, the Matanji orcs have had a very different history than those in Belkzen. They are respected for their demon slaying expertise, and while they are still relatively insular, their presence among other ethnicities is not surprising. As a result, they have developed their mental capabilities further than those in other regions.
