The Iron Orcs are an isolated Orcish civilization native to the Dragontail Mountains of Craglorn. They are known for their stone worship and their savage brutality, and are based in the Nordic ruins of the Valley of Scars. They tame trolls and welwas as war beasts, and primarily use iron arms and armor. They are culturally separate from other Orcs, and possess their own language.
The Iron Orcs are mostly confined to Upper Craglorn, with a few found in Lower Craglorn and Senchal. For historical information, see the lore article.
