Some say that these orcs guard vast treasures, abandoned by the Stein'jar dwarves during the Grud'mok Invasion.
• Wakiun Wildwood - A stretch of forest known to be perilous. There have been numerous reports of those who wander too close being snatched away into the deep woods by the savage Wakiun wood elves.
