Orc Mountain

Orc Mountain is the largest orc settlement in the realm and is the primary location of many Orc Sworn books.
==History and geography==
The mountain is the highest summit of the Sakkin Ridge, buried deep in Sakkin Province's dense forestThe Lady and the Orc (chapter 3). Its base is very wide, and it is said the orc lair is as high above ground as deep beneath it. It is so high that there's always snow sitting on its peak and clouds pass through itThe Lady and the Orc (chapter 36).Despite human belief, the inside of the mountain is not just a series of filthy caves. It's a marvel that showcases the orcs' advanced knowledge, engineering and mining skills. It is a vast underground fortress, home to most of the orcs in the realm -even if it still remains quite empty-. The mountain has many openings and access points, although they're not obvious from outside, and the orcs are quick and clever to know which ones to close or hide depending on the circumstances.
Orc Mountain was first inhabited by the couple Edom and Akva, along with their five sons Ash-Kai, Bautul, Skai, Ka-esh and GriskThe Heiress and the Orc (chapter 16). They started giving the mountain shape and turn its core into a home. It is believed they used magic to shape the stone; although, if true, this power has been long-lost. 
It is currently ruled by captain Grimarr of clan Ash-Kai, son of the infamous captain Kaugir the Iron-ClawThe Lady and the Orc (chapter 24), who, for the first time in three hundred years, united all orc clans under the same roof and brought relative safety and peace to Orc Mountain's inhabitants.
==Wings==
Most of the orcs nowadays live within Orc Mountain, where a large kitchen feeds every orc dinner (the rest of the meals need to be provided by their own clans)The Lady and the Orc (chapter 17). Also, each clan has their own ample wing with many rooms, common halls, training room/arena, one trade post and other amenities. 
When not working, most orcs will be found training/studying, eating/sleeping, praying or merry-making in common rooms. There they chat, play games, dance, play drums, and above all: give each-other pleasure. This is such a commonplace activity that most common halls are equipped with all types of furniture, equipment and fixtures to allow for this kind of fun.
====Neutral areas====
The mountain also counts with several underground fresh-water supplies. There is an infirmary where wounded orcs can get tended by healers. Although no orc rides horses, a small stable has been recently built outside. There's a new nursery for orclings too, in hopes that it will get used frequently in the future. There are a few meeting rooms equipped with fireplaces and wooden tables; including one with a long, rectangular table surrounded by benches where the most important meetings take placeThe Lady and the Orc (chapter 21).

====Bautul wing====
The Bautul keep a garden that -mostly- produces food and medicinal herbs. They also have a large common room that has an altar/hearth at the center where they give "offerings" to their goddess.
====Grisk wing====
The Grisk, who are known to be the most ostentatiously dressed orcs, run the Great Grisk Showroom-Shop open to all orcs and humans who enter the mountain. 
====Ka-esh wing====
The Ka-esh wing houses the mountain's library and communications office.
====Skai wing====
The Skai inhabit the deepest parts of Orc Mountain. Their wing contains a sparring arena and a shrine to Skai-kesh. Joarr keeps a mushroom cave in the lowest levels of the Skai wing.
