Rok'Ilmar has potential to be really cool, however you need to work more with terrain heights and the use of tiles for it to be interesting. Also I'm not sure about the tinting of that fog, blue doesn't fit the orc image. If you're attempting a night fog I sudgest using a darker blue with a hint of grey in it.
The Orc Encampment needs alot of work. Add tile and height variation for it to look interesting. Also lower the trees into the ground using ctrl+pg dn. Optionally cover them up with shrubbery.
The Vash'najilik ones could do without the weather effect, it just looks poor. Also I dislike the spam of shrubbery on the island. Again it needs some tile variation.

Fladdermasken already mentioned the important things to change, there are also some additions. Since it is an Orc-City there should be stuff lying around and there should be other and smaller buldings as well. Maybe some Npc-Orc would make it more vivid. Also some more variation in the background (trees), maybe a mountain or so.
Regarding the last picture: bad grass spamming, less is often more. You should use ANOTHER TILESET.
I also dont like the structure, but thats kind of a personal thing.
Keep it up, your terrain got potential!!!


Somehow Orc-Encampment picture doesn´t show up...

This could become really good but since when do orc strongholds/citys/towns whatever they are called are so in line? I mean evrything look so straight and not like Ogrimmar from WoW i dont really know how to explain this but i hope you understand it. I also see that on som of the screenshots their isn't enough tile variation try to use a bit more. Now to get on the orc encampment screen it is very plain and needs more envirorments imo like som animated grass with a real color (just an example) Besides this its not that bad. And about that Ruined isles i would have used just the normal Sunken ruins tiles for it but i dont really know if its this is rong or not atleast its definitly not what if used. Anyway hope i gave enough advice/feedback

I would use a different tileset but i can't add anymore. And I'm using the ones I currently have. ><

I'm no expert, but I think it looks fantastic. The only thing I could recommend would be to make the orcs slightly different sizes, possibly with different colors too. They look so uniform that they take away from the effect I think. Minor height variation would be great I think.
 
I am giving this a 6/10 I know you can do much better than this.

[-] Play around with fog a bit more, and experiment with different colors (Not really a fan of this blue)
[-] The Orc Town seems to me a bit, plain. Add some grass/bush/smaller trees anything to make it look more full.

These are just my opinion. And I am guessing these are supposed to be playable terrains, not showcase terrains?

Good job anyway.
