Black Tusk Keep



Nestled between mountains to the east and a river to the west Black Tusk Keep is an Orc city in northern Durmista.

Once a human city with a large population of Dwarves and Gnomes, Black Tusk was originally called Suncaster city. Named after it's chief deity Pelor blessed with both natural defense and natural resources. However, nothing stopped the relentless hoard of Orc during the Orcwar. The city was taken and most it's population was killed while the rest were enslaved.

By the end of the Orcwar the many tribes that composed the orc army turned on each other. The orcs occupying Suncaster were an exception. They had grown content in their easier lifestyle and agreed to form a new tribe, the Black Tusk Clan. For twenty years the Orcs restructured the city for their own needs renaming it Black Tusk Keep.

Little is known about the day to day activities of the Keep or who may lead it. Orcs make up the largest population,  but the city is also home to Half-Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, and a large number of slaves from various humanoid races. It is known that any who travel too close to the city may be kidnapped for slavery, and the Orc may even raid anyone that attempts to settle nearby.
