Like I thought, the Orcs are German. However the Elves are Danish? I guess that this is something like how the first Schleswig war was a victory for the Danish (elves) while this is the second Schleswig war which was a victory for the Germans (orcs)
I believe the equivalent of the 1st Schleswig War was the war 120 years in the past that the orcs lost, and this is basically gonna be the 2nd Schleswig War where Elves will loose, most likely because they committed ethnic cleansing on a very valuable element of their forces.
