Helor

Helor is the capital town of the mighty Bleakstare Clan. One of the greatest Orcish clans of Northridge. Helor is known for its great harbours and fruit markets. It is located north of Bleakstare Hill.

History
Helor was founded by Helor Bleakstare, the greatest Orc Chieftain known in history. He sailed to Dûnroth from Zanlae Island and traveled west. After a long expedition he and his people settled in the Bleakstare Forest, before known as the Northern Woods. His first settlement is the fortress of Bleakstare Hill, located on a great hill protecting the northern part of Bleakstare Forest. During the first age the orcs of Bleakstare did not play a great role. In the Orcish Invasions of Southridge, the Bleakstare clan only sent a small army to the south.

Economy
Helor has many fruit markets and these markets are not only visited by orcs such as the Warhungers but also by gnolls and even men of Dûnroth have been seen trading in Helor. In the second age the town of Helor mostly traded with Ethamiel, the new city of the Earth Elves. The valey of Bleakstare Hill is very fertile, this is why the orcs have settled here in the first place. Many fruits and vegetables grow in this valley.

Politics
The current leader of Helor and the Bleakstare clan is Morg the Marksman, he is the first orc that is not part of the Bleakstare family to become chieftain of the Bleakstare clan. This is because Narash Bleakstare died during the Black Orkish invasion. In this invasion the great fort of Bleakstare Hill, located south-east of Helor was destroyed. It is said that Black Orks have started building breeding pits and housing on that location now, so Helor is cut off from the rest of the world. But the fleet of the Bleakstare clan has grown, so the town can still trade and talk with other nations by sea.
