Blacktooth Ridge
This ridge line stretches from the PLAINS OF ATROTHOS in the east before breaking up in the rocky flats of the ELENOR PLAINS in the south. The Blacktooth Ridge is a rocky outcrop dotted with innumerable fracture caverns and deep natural caves on the western edge of the Plains of Atrothos. The escarpment above and to the east of the Blacktooth Ridge is forested with scrub oak and evergreens, and is littered with huge boulders-detritus of glacial contraction.
History
For ages beyond count, the caverns of the Blacktooth Ridge have long attracted orcs, ogres, goblins, giants, and other even more evil and malignant creatures who prefer the dark depths to the open sun. After the coming of the Horned One, the Blacktooth Ridge became a significant source of creatures with which to people his armies. Eventually, guard posts, fortresses, treasuries, and barracks were built in the caverns beneath the ridges and huge hosts of troops were housed here under the command of powerful lieutenants and captains. After his fall, many of these were abandoned and left uninhabited for many years. Now it boasts many renegade elements of that ancient and most foul evil as the ridge offers safe hiding and deep holes-easy defense from those who seek to kill them.
