Taur Orthon is an area within Forochel, in the south-eastern region.

This area is the first travelers will encounter upon entering Forochel. While harsher than the landscape of Evendim to the south, Taur Orthon is but a mild teasing of the trials travelers may face in the northern areas of Forochel. Taur Orthon is a typical subarctic mountain area, with lots of snow and fir trees intercepting frosty streams, in the season just before the winter freezes everything over. The rich wildlife provides the local hunters with bounties such as elks, wolves, and wolverines, as well as a few aurochs.

In the center of the area, on the shore of the chilly Korkea-järvi, lies Kauppa-kohta: a Lossoth village serving as a trading place and entry hub into the region. It provides basic services such as a Stable-master, Milestone, Mailbox, and the Tasks Bulletin Board for this area. Here are also a Healer and a Supplier & Provisioner found, as well as a Lore-master Trainer (who seems quite lost), many quest givers, and some very talkative locals.
