Orkansaw

A former Dwarven mining town known for its massive mining wheel, now the stronghold of the Orcs of the northernArrowtooth Mountains.
Known to the Dawi as Dar Barag, translating roughly to 'The Ironworks Gamble', the town sprung up around a great mining wheel that had been made by a gold dwarf architect who had lost a bet to the Duke of Ortensa and had wagered he could build the greatest mine the duke had ever seen.
Three years after the wheel was completed the whole town was overtaken in an orcish invasion. The new orcish inhabitants added to the wheel with scrap from the mine and nearby houses, making the wheel, in their minds at least, much better and renamed it the Orkansaw.
