Stoneskeep Tower

The Stoneskeep Tower is the personal manse of the Boyar of Ordhov, built in the Ironsides not far from the Garak Mines.
It is known that, during the construction of the tower in the year 740, that the ruler of Ordhov requested many different hidden routes be built into his tower but the amount of these built are not known. The only proof of these tunnels existing was, shortly after it's completion when a group of wandering drunks stumbled through the Market District, they came upon a hatch that led them directly to the kitchen of the keep. When these men were returned back to town, having eaten half the food in the Boyar's larder, they began boasting of their exploits. When word made it's way back to the Boyar, so insensed was he, that they were immediately round up and put in the prison cells kept in the mines. The loudest of the drunks however, was hung, drawn, and quartered for his actions.

Garak's Mines

A sprawling complex of underground Iron mines, Garak's Mines are the largest such mines in Khirina. In times of conflict, it has been common for the smallfolk of Ordhov to hide out in the mines while waiting out whatever happens above.
Garak's Mines are a lifeline for the the Grand Duchy as the ores mined make up more than half of the total supply of the Grand Duchy's iron. As Ordhov has been plagued with attacks from nearby Mountain Trolls, in 851, the Grand Duke Ifan I Valrak ordered that a regiment of the Grand Duke's royal army be garrisoned outside of the mines itself.
