Khundrukar

The great dwarven smith, Durgeddin the Black, founded Khundrukar, the secret stronghold within a great underground cavern system under Stone Tooth Mountain two hundred years ago when he and his clan were driven from their home by a horde of orcs and trolls. The orcs discovered the location of Khundrukar, Durgeddin's home, a century ago when they captured one of Durgeddin's clansmen. The orcs raised a great army that stormed the stronghold and slew the dwarves there, allowing the stronghold's five levels to fall into ruins.

History

Long ago, goblins, orcs and other monsters used the ruins as a base. Legends told of the extraordinary blades Durgeddin forged in anger, left laying within the ruins of Khundrukar to be found. Since those times, 'ownership' of the upper levels of the fortress had changed hands dozens of times before finally settling with an ogre calling himself the Great Ulfe. Having aligned himself with an orc warband. Ulfe terrorized the countryside for nearly a year, stealing livestock and robbing caravans and pilgrims traveling north toward the Windswept Wall before being bested in combat by a hero named Echum and his band of adventurers. With Ulfe not just defeated, but abdicated, Echum was named the Great Echum and became to new leader of the orc warband.
With having effectively stopped the crime across the countryside, Echum petitioned the mayor of Blasingdell for ownership of the redoubt, which he granted, making Echum a land-owning Lord.

Tourism

Plans are in place to prepare the inside caverns for the winter solstice festival, converting them into common areas and a Battleball pitch. These areas as of 6/15/1948 are under construction and being overseen by the Orc shaman Matron Burdug, appointed steward.
