The Redhorn Lodes have become a haven for beasts and Orc-kind alike since the fall of Moria. A variety of different tribes of Orcs fight for control over the precious ore found within the rock, while also competing with insect and beast alike for territory to call their own. The Iron Garrison, seeking to reclaim the mine of Fulz-zahar, has sent Hersir to the Redhorn Lodes to establish an effort to clear the intruders from the old dwarf-delving.
