Hmm, Orc tracks spotted, magma golems, dwarven tunnels, hmm, this sounds familiar. According to dwarven legend, this is an area called Saaul'Raduk. In ancient dwarven tounge, it means "battle of faith" which is what it exactly was. A long time ago, the dwarves occupied the volcano, and it was a dwarven fortress, owned to a proud king named Alth'uc. He was proud, but selfish. He wanted all the gold to be mined, and their construction led below the river, where they upsetted magma golems. So dwarven fighters constructed a bridge, and guarded it. They got attacked often, and then, it is said that evil struck a deal with the Orcs, they offered them armies and gold, only if they destroyed the Orcs, and surprisingly, the Orcs did. Then, selfish as the evil was, it took the promise away from the Orcs, who then got slaughtered by the denizens of evil, but tribes and a few armies remain. But that all happened years ago, no one knows what happened after that, for some of the "knowledge" was lost. I'll tell more stories later, but I need to stand guard.
