The White Council Set - Orcs

[caprylz]

Today is the Orc culture. Full disclosure, I feel like it's not as cohesive as some of the others I've worked on. There's a few sub-cultures here, including archers that force the FP player to be even more careful when assigning archery wounds, the return of trackers, who primarily get stronger if the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, and few anti-follower cards. Let me know which ones you like best and which ones need some more work.
