Main Hall of Brithbarad~
This large, dark mud building seems to serve as a massive temple.  Altars

covered in skulls and feathers line the walls, with a large slab of

slate prominent in the center of the room.  The slate is covered in dried

blood and charred bones.  A curtain hangs in the doorway to the north,

while a row of beads lines the doorway to the south.  Down a few crude

steps to the east you can see a gravel path, while out an open doorway to

the west a dark ring of trees can be seen.  A stout spiral staircase of

iron leads up to the second floor.

Each altar is built of thick basalt blocks stacked to form a small

covered arch.  One is covered in a colorful array of feathers and small

bones tied together with small strips of leather.  Another has many

skulls of animals and humanoids displayed on it.  Wax candles burn in the

altars, spilling melted wax over the dark stones.

Dark Grove~
Tall and twisted pine trees crowd together in this dark grove.  The thick

canopy of intertwined branches blocks the sky above, making the area cool. 

Through the close-set trees you can make out the thick and heavy shale

wall of the the fort rising up into the sky.  To the east the slate and

mud walls of a large building rise, and a small set of steps leads up and

into an open doorway.

Dark and Smelly Room~
The dusty slate walls of this room are covered in skins and masks.

Various drying items hang in bunches from the rafters: feathers, leather

strips and drying herbs.  A thin counter separates you from the back of

the store which has even more clutter.  You notice a small sand-filled

bowl against the wall, incense sticks burning and giving off a scent that

assaults your senses.  A row of beads covers the doorway to the north.

A Dark and Cluttered Room~
Workbenches covered with half completed projects and small tools fill

this room.  The everpresent soot has been collecting on some of them for

some time.  Small drawers and vats filled with noxious liquids and

powders are spread about behind the counter.  A curtain hangs in a

doorway to the south.

Warleader's Chamber~
The dark mud and slate walls of the room are covered with grisly trophies

of conquest.  The worn and warped wooden floor is covered with dark

stains and scattered bits of hay.  A spiraling iron staircase leads down. 

Heavy pine beams support the ceiling, and cobwebs and dust are collecting

in the corners.  A worn shield is mounted on sturdy brackets on the wall

behind the desk.

Bend in Gravel Way~
The gravel path makes a sharp turn to the south and east here.  To the

west, a large black mud and slate structure looms overhead, a full two

stories high and looking very official and important.  The path squeezes

between two buildings to the south, while to the east, Gravel Way winds

alongside several huts and hovels.  A squat mud building blocks movement

to the north.

End of Gravel Way~
The ground is a mixture of thick mud and loose gravel.  Hay has been

tossed about in a failed attempt to make the footing more favorable.  A

large stable looms to the north, the sounds of horses mixing with the

loud shouts of the orcs of the fort.  The gravel path leads west towards

more buildings.  The tall shale wall of the fort blocks movement to the

east.

forth the smell of hay and horse.  A medium sized shale-walled building

stands to the west, imposing its dark facade on the street.  A small

Drunken Orc Bar~
A long bar made of old pine planks runs from the north wall about halfway

through the noisy room.  Smoke and soot fill the air, along with the

sounds of drunken orcs.  Strong smells of cheap beer and sweaty orcs waft

by, assaulting your senses.  A curtain of wooden beads hangs in the

southern doorway.  An open doorway leads outside to the east.  The shale

walls of the bar have collected a thick layer of soot and dust.

Smokey Back Room~
A thick smoke wafts through the air in this dark back room.  The smell in

the air is sweet, masking the barely detectable scent of orc sweat.

Guttering and dirty lensed lanterns are mounted in the corners of the

room, and a small raised stage protrudes from the west wall.  The floor

is bare dirt, and the patrons stand watching the show.

A small basalt well sits in the center of the muddy pathway.  Gravel has

been spread all about in an attempt to make the ground more passable.  To

the east and west, the gravel pathway continues, while to the north a

large open-doored building sits.  A crooked large-scale hovel stands to

Crude iron bars separate you from the teller here.  The massive walls are

oppressive, and give you the feeling that they may collapse on you at any

source of the black soot which covers nearly everything in the city.  The

Parade Ground~
The soot-filled air hangs heavily over the gravel field.  The heavy feet

of countless orc grunts have pounded the gravel deep into the mud, almost

paving this area.  Two small wooden buildings, perhaps barracks, flank

the grounds, one to the north and another to the south of here.  The

gravel pathway leads to the west.  To the east, a massive pair of solid

pine gates interrupt the thick shale walls.  A heavy crank is set into

the ground, attached to a long, thick chain looped over a pulley.  Beside

the crank is mounted a heavy lever.

Between the Gates~
Gravel is spread about here to aid in walking on the muddy ground.  To

the east and west massive gates built from stripped pine trees are set

into the shale walls.  A tower rises high above you to the north, and a

large iron door provides entrance to it.  This area is obviously intended

to trap those storming the outpost.  A large crank is fixed near the east

gate, with a thick chain looping high over a pulley and attached to the

top of the gate.  There is also a heavy lever beside the crank, most

likely a release which closes the gates in rapid fashion.

Each set of gates consists of two (roughly) equally-sized halves, which

Base of the Tower~
The dust covered shale walls rise high above your head.  Through the

cobwebs and hazy air, you can see a wooden roof high above your head.  A

heavy iron gate provides exit south, while a trapdoor high above your

head allows exit to the roof.  The floor is hard packed dirt; the

imprints of many heavily booted feet cover its surface.  A rickety wooden

ladder leads up towards the trapdoor.

Roof of the Tower ~
Rough cut pine planks make the floor here, and creak as you walk.  A

trapdoor leads down.  The crenelated walls come about to chest height of

the orc warriors, providing them wonderful protection from below.  The

air is choked by black soot coming from down below and to the west.  A

glowing torchiere of iron contains a fire that illuminates the area. 

Looking out from the walls you can see the Black Hills and the open

plains below.

At the Gates~
Looming to the west of you are the impressive gates of the orc outpost,

Brithbarad.  To the immediate north of the gates rises a tall tower built

of stacked shale, and guards can be seen scanning the countryside for

interlopers.  The muddy ground is covered in gravel, and crunches beneath

your feet.  A dark cloud of soot hangs in the air, making breathing

difficult.  To the north and south, the tall grass of the Western Plains

approach the walls of the city.
