User:Zone Descriptions Project/Everchill Caverns

High up in the Everfrost Peaks lies an ancient underground fort. Currently inhabited primarily by orcs, the Everchill Caverns are far too complex and expansive to be of original orc design; though piles of animal bones, furs and scattered firepits seem to be orcish attempts at decoration. Sages speculate that it might be a shrine for the orcs, where the inner sanctum is guarded by ice giants. Incautious explorers find themselves confronted with an infestation of nazdrich and crystal spiders when attempting to visit the shrine, if they live to tell tales at all.

The orcs also seem to keep something locked in there, at least one adventurer reported that there are some holding cells, including some goblin inmates. Unfortunately he did not have time to talk to them before he had to run for his life, so it is unknown why they are locked up there.

Another rather odd thing to find in an orc fort that has been found was a summoning circle. Considering that orcs usually only use divine magic and do not dabble with the arcane arts, this is subject of quite a few discussions among the sages.
