Kúrûn-Kárûk has many armories, forgeries and treasuries, such as only the dwarves could build. The entire fortress is in a state of alert, ready for any attack that may come from Kraak.

Drahk'suhl

The city of Drahk'Suhl remains unique among the ogre race. No other ogre settlement has grown so large or so successful, thanks almost to the leadership and foresight of the Emperor Jun'Zil, and old and cunning Ogre Mage. It boast a thriving economy based on the trade of goods (legitimate and otherwise) between the surface world and the races of the underground.

Oddly, the locals expect a surprising degree of order. Some attribute this to the presence of the Black Nails - elite Ogre fighters, who enforce the order and laws of the Mahk-Turan. Any violent disputes are resolved in the arena; fighting openly elsewhere garners the Black Nail's involvement.
