TAKEN TO THE QUARRIES OF ISTIOPOLIS VALLEY
Some were wounded and in agony, rendering them unable to respond. Others, devastated to the point of speechlessness. The caravans crept sluggishly through a valley surrounded by imposing mountains—a landscape that, if my guess held true, marked the Fillene pass leading to the orcish stronghold of Anio.
Upon reaching the Anio fortress, our journey resumed.
After enduring months of travel, we eventually arrived at the designated destination chosen by the orcs—an expansive open quarry situated behind Istiopolis City, the capital of the Orc kingdom.
This vast mine, one of the largest I had ever encountered, employed thousands of human slaves. The entire valley behind Istiopolis City had been excavated from the mountains, transforming into an immense quarry known as the Istiopolis Valley.
