Ostrog

The now ruined old settlement of the Dwarves. Ostrog was the first large scale attempt at settling the wilds of The Pale by the Dwarves and was initially very successful. However, continued raiding expeditions into Ursine and Ikwiikwii territory created deep animosity amongst those races. A planned invasion of Ikwiikwii tribes was found out and the town suffered from extensive covert sabotage of the expedition. After the expedition was cancelled the Settlement suffered a series of hardships (communications never returned, machines and weapons were often faulty and broken, crops were stolen, and the town was hit by a plague) and was eventually abandoned, deemed cursed by some force of nature. After the fact, the abandonment of the town and its sabotage is often credited to The Miakoda and its founder, Blackfeather Miakoda.
