Dol Khazun - Mountain Stronghold

I am Morn gra-Nargol, once chief of this hold. It insults me to write in this filthy language of yours, but I digress. Within the pages you hold in your dirty outlander hands you will find the history of this stronghold, its chieftains, and the story of its downfall.

Description

Dol Khazun is a medium-sized Orcish stronghold nestled in the mountains just east of North Brittleshin Pass.

Built into a large nook carved out by a now-extinct waterfall, the stronghold has remained standing for hundreds of years by virtue of its nigh-impregnable structure, strategic location, and savage inhabitants.

Dol Khazun was born out of a dissatisfaction with the current scope of Stronghold player homes for SE (and LE, for that matter). Not o
