Demographics
Bladegarden has a population of 9,910 as of 835 PD. Being a former orc settlement, 32% of the population is half-orc and 21% is orc. Humans encompass 25% of the population.

Background
Bladegarden was the site of one of the bloodiest battles during the Calamity, and is so named because of the high volume of weapons scavenged by the locals. Originally a settlement of the Odakar orc clan, Bladegarden was incorporated into the Empire shortly following the war with the Julous Dominion. Other orcish clans who disagreed with this accord were driven east towards the Brokenveil Marsh, to later be incorporated into the Kryn Dynasty.

Bladegarden is both a military training complex and the core of orcish society within the Empire.
