Urthnak

Urthnak is the largest of orc strongholds and capital of the powerful Clan of Clay. Located between the desolated Plains of Dun in the northwest and the Teeth in the east, the city stands as an impregnable metropolis of ancient grandeur, an unmistakable superpower of modern history.

Founded roughly three-hundred years after what the orc call the Great Schism, Urthnak is most recognizable by the Great Fungi, astonishingly-shaped black-and-brown sandstone structures hanging high above a thousand and one orc compounds. Whilst in Urthnak, it is hard to miss the impressive range of black-tiled market squares, along which the soaring spines of the Urthnok Guildhouses - the legendary workplaces of the Mhizhak craftsmen - rise high and mighty. Other than that, it is without doubt the Clay Palace that catches the eye: a gigantic cubical complex right in the middle of Urthnak, a bastion of power characterized by a triangular-shaped glass roof shining bright when light catches it.

In current international affairs, the notoriety of Urthnak surged as the Urthnaki warlord and veteran of the War of Wails, T’ebor the Toothless, compromised with the Duxa Emperor regarding the profitable slave-mineral exchange, thereby securing Urthnaki existence on Tyrrha.
