HERE COOOOOOOOMES THE FORTRESS
The last sun of summer slowly falls below the horizon as the many grazers begin their trip to the north
The last rays pick up a sign of a slaughter, now a feast for the vultures, as a wyvern flies to return to its nest
Nothing can deter many of the beings here from leaving their lairs, even as others fight just outside
As a scorpion crawls from underneath its resting place, a traveler comes to a stop. He has arrived at the Bloodaxe Fortress
Forged upon centuries of war, the Bloodaxe Fortress is both the major war facility of the Orcs, and their capital city. Their houses are often placed on top of one another, minimising how much space is used by them
Bridges are used to connect certain areas, so that the orcs can easily visit the local shamans, and so the shamans can stay in tune with nature
What the Fortress is also known for is the Trading District. A huge building, every orcish salesman plans to have a store in this shopping metropolis, noted for stocking weapons, food and drink
The mighty harbour is located near the Trading District. The Lumbermill is located on it, for imports of lumber far away, and just up the stairs lies the Forge, where the orcish weapons of war are built and prepared
Past the residential district lies the Grand Centre, where the chieften lives. Next to it is the Graveyard, where a memorial sits to the first orcish chieften. Behind where the chieften's throne sits is the Wyvery and Dragon Roost. Though the roost is often not inhabbited, occaisonally bronze dragons from the north will fly down to inhabbit it
Behind the Grand Centre is the Military District. Siege weapons lay everywhere here, as the orcs are taught valuable lessons on how to raid, pillage, plunder and destroy

The Bloodaxe Fortress. My most insanely complex terraining feat to date. The idea for the houses came from one of Glitch's terrains down at TheHubb, and as they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
