Sharak-Im

Main Page > Places > Sharak-Im

Sharak-Im is the capital city of the Orc Homelands, in the mountains to the far north. I'm imagining a very large network of caverns and tunnels riddling a whole mountain range, but also including some above-ground cities. Before the war, the orcs were mostly of one religion (worshipping Barlazam as the head of a pantheon of lesser gods) but rarely united into a single political entity.

The War of the Dead reached Sharak-Im late, after Rindamoor was already under siege, but it was devastating. Orcish refugees fled south, mostly ending up in Brashin-Duhl and Rindamoor. Because Sharak-Im is so far away from Rindamoor, St. Bessin's dispelling of the zombie army did not reach Sharak-Im. Thousands (if not millions?) of orcish zombies still shamble through the streets and tunnels, attacking anyone living who dares approach.
