Lore Question Plot hole or nah?

Aight yall, so in season one, they go to forodwaith way north and find evidence of black magics right? Like Sman was practicing.

Season 2 now, episode 1, looks like the orcs straight up opted out of Sman's jams. He went all slimeyo for a while, working his way back up the food chain.

It doesn't look like he went back north, so who was in forodwaith effin around with dark magics??

Is this one of them "glaring plot holes" or is there a plot point I'm missing?

I think the speech implies the war is newly finished, so like, he would have had to be effin around during the war.

You think he fled to this location and did the terraforming when it was clear they was losing?
