Fort Skagund

An outpost of Iuz's orcs, hobgoblins and priestly leaders, Kerzinen of Rookroost does not include any bandits among his troops here, fearing that having chaotic bandits hunting other chaotic bandits might be a great recipe for maximizing defections among his men. Skagund stands as a stockaded keep and complex of huts in a huge, mile-wide, burned-out clearing in the forest. The orcs are trained to burn and destroy the forest as effectively and swiftly as possible. This is as much to damage the morale of the forest's refugees as anything else, since the Fellreev is far too vast for burning to do much more than minimal damage. The winter and autumn mists also make the forest very resistant to fire damage.
