Fha-Korlash

There were many Orcs who were named Fha-korlash, for it is both the title and the adopted name of a Chief of the strange Scara-hai tribe that settled in northern Ithilien, outside the gates of Mordor. (The name means "Great Jaw" in the Orcish tongue.) Every Orc who has held the title has won a a ritual fight against either the past Chief or some other contender. He carries life and death authority over his tribe, although he is still a vassal of the demonic Werewolf, Gaurhir, the High-Chieftain of the Scara-hai. The Fha-korlash wields the tribal totem, a great cleaver that is often coated with Asgurath poison.
