Would a dragonborn clan/really big tribe help orcs take back both of their land? If so would the orc leader have to be very hounarble and above average intelligence?

-Thanks!

Honestly, as mattador says, its really up to you. Its not entirely far fetched, so you come up with some basic backstory as to why they'd work together.

Perhaps the dborn and the orcs fought eachother on this land for generations, and formed a grudging respect for eachother. Since their land was taken, and they cant do it themselves, they realize the other side is a perfect source of additional able bodied warriors.

If there's something atypical about the orc tribe, or the orc tribe can be bound in some way that ensures 'good behavior', or the dragonborn clan has some other means to ensure that the orcs keep their weapons pointed elsewhere, it could work out.
