History

Built at the end of a road (and the beginning of two mountain trails), Rastor is a rough, little, mud–soaked place low on charm and laden with coarse and dangerous inhabitants. Although primarily the home of humans and dwarves, newcomers quickly notice that orcs live among the populace, along with a fair number of half–orcs. The orcs are from a tribe that lives in an encampment only a few miles deeper into the mountains. The people of Rastor have long since made their peace with this orc tribe, and now a fair amount of interaction exists between the two. Since merchants sometimes come to Rastor with supplies for sale, the orcs consider the people of the hamlet important allies. The merchants never notice that folks in Rastor buy more than they can ever really use. What they don’t know is that the humans and others in the village sell goods to the orcs. This situation makes Rastor rougher than most traditional communities, and it makes the nearby orcs more sophisticated than a typical tribe.

Points of interest

Nearby Orc Camp

The orcs of the nearby tribe have a relatively peaceful and cooperative coexistence with the people of Rastor. The camp is located three miles to the south and west of the village, in the steep hills at the edge of the mountain they call the Foot of Grumsh.

Mountain Temple or Complex

Just about everyone in Rastor knows that some sort of secret temple or complex lies in the nearby mountains. They see the clerics and their servants coming out of nearby passes in wagons or on foot. About half know exactly where it lies and have even traded or interacted with the ochre–robed clerics or their black-clad servants.
