Supamesh Foundry

At the southernmost branch of the Shadowpeaks sits a cluster of small but active volcanos that improve the fertility of the Gandarak Cradle. According to legend, the volcanos were the site of order of smiths, credited with forging many of the most celebrated and reviled legendary weapons such as Wifeslicer*, Voice of Doric, and the twin Skysong and Thundermaker. While its frequent eruptions have certainly erased any evidence of such a organization, it has since come into its legendary status, with orcish industrialists constructing massive conical structures that trap the volcanic heat, and allow for the creation of new and experimental alloys.

While the Supamesh Foundry is technically outside the political border of Norgir, they keep an overwhelming military presence to protect it from monsters or Taesic raids.

*While the weapon Wifeslicer is often depicted as a saber used by human warlord Andorin the Suspect of the 1st Age to execute his least favorite or most disloyal wives, other historical interpretations suggest that its name may have been closer to Wife's Slicer, a chef's knife Andorin commissioned as a wedding gift. It is difficult to verify these accounts, as the two most prominent historians on the subject were a couple whose heated disagreements eventually escalated to a mutual homicide.
