Angkrag started out as a dwarven mine that was hotly contested with the City of Hallifax during the days of the Holy Celestine Empire. Since then, the mines were flooded by the Taint and were for a long time uninhabited, that is until the Magnagoran noble houses began to 'retire' the more decrepit of their undead family members there. First, the undead masters began using orc servants to raise silk spiders, much to the anger of Dairuchi who had long cornered the silk market. Then, the undead masters began to 'acquire' undead dwarven miners and have since become one of the major producers of rich ores. The strongest and most intelligent of the undead masters is Master Nasir n'Rotri, who is bending his considerable will to master the dwarven method of steel smelting. Unfortunately for him, the orc he is training for smelting steel, while uncommonly intelligent for an orc, has not been very cooperative and taken to drink. At times, this orc must be punished, but the orc is wiley and often escapes his viscanti masters. Master Nasir will richly reward those who help capture the notorious orc.
