Velheim

Perched precariously on the craggy slopes of the tall Yelfall Peak, Grom'karak is a formidable orc city, known for its imposing fortifications and watchtowers that loom over the surrounding wilderness. With the harsh, below freezing temperatures at the top of the mountains, the orc inhabitants have been shaped into relentless raiders, known for their brutal tactics against unsuspecting travelers. They thrive on the spoils of their raids, bringing back supplies and food to sustain their warlike society, which upholds a cruel honor dictated by strength and bloodshed. Recently, they have sent their war parties much further, to other major cities along the mountain range. Grom'karak pulses with the raw energy of its inhabitants, echoing with the sounds of clanging metal and guttural war cries, a stark reminder of the danger that lies beyond its jagged walls.
