Hinterland: Orc Lords is an updated version of Hinterland, which was released through digital distribution the year before. For owners of the original Hinterland, the additional content was released for free.

The Orcs
The game introduces the new orc race as well as two new orc classes: the Orc Lord and the Orc Shaman. Orcs gain experience in combat faster, grow food normally, loot food from enemies, but eat twice as much as other races. The Orc Shaman differs from other magic-based classes, as it is the only class that may summon creatures by using animal parts. Both classes attract other orcs as followers. No non-orcs are available for recruitment.
