The
death of Zogdatha, a legendary military commander,
marked the end of orc domination in the Kvyr and
Dar'Kolbur region. The orcs scattered across the
Whispering Plains to escape the wrath of pursuing
elves and dwarves, but several tribes fled north
instead into the Barrier Mountains.
The grim Isenvor humans were not amused by the intrusion,
but in their desperation the orcs still managed
to carve out a small domain for themselves. They
settled down and built a city upon a rich iron vein.
With the aid of skills acquired during their war
against the dwarves, the orcs quickly established
mines and forges. Inspired by their work, which
supplied them with weapons and armor, they named
their city Ograkk - City of Iron.
The conflict with the Isenvor humans continued,
and the orcs advanced, and even claimed the human
fortress of Icehaven. They lost it again in the
onslaught of the Everlasting Winter, opening up
the way for the humans to pour south and lay Ograkk
under siege. The Ograkk orcs turned to their Kharbesh
kin for support, but they refused them. So a temporary
pact with was sealed with the Odar humans instead,
leading to the freeing of Ograkk. The betrayal by
the Kharbesh orcs was repaid in blood, when they
were denied safe passage through Ograkk from their
pursuers, the Odar humans.
The border conflicts between the Isenvor humans
and the orcs still rages to this day, and it shows
no signs of abating. The disputed Sunken River Pass,
lying between Icehaven and Ograkk, shifts owners
on a regular basis.
