Gor Gholum

Although the exact origins of the sacred city of Gor Ghulum are unknown, the cities’ reputation has traveled a long way. An enigmatic citadel of power and worship, it is without doubt the most holy of cities in the realm of orc.

Home to the pale Shamani and Foundlings of Gor Ghulum, it is pivotal in the spreading of socio-spiritual and religious teachings among the orc clans - also known as the Carving, the singing of monotone hymns audible from hundreds of miles away. Within the city, there are many temples, the most important being the Bul Azim - the temple of Golar. A simple structure of horizontally and vertically places grey-granite pillars, the temple of Golar embodies the full spectrum of Shamani holiness, the epitome of orcish faith and spiritual engagement.

Forbidden for anyone but the supreme warlords of the orc clans, it is widely acknowledged that the political reach of the Shamani far-stretching. An invisible influence, a silent orchestra that anonymously holds command strongly in its grip, it is without doubt one of the most elusive magical bulwarks of the modern age.
