Hîgropor is a landmark within Nan Wathren, in the North Downs. [18.6S, 46.2W]
This Orc camp is located in the southern reaches of the North Downs. Long ago, this place was a proud fortress but has since fallen desolate. However, recently a large band of Orcs made their way here and set up camp from where they raid the surrounding communities, namely Trestlebridge and Lin Giliath.
While all the orcs within Nan Wathren are a challenge to any well-trained warriors, the breed of Hîgropor is even stronger, the body-guards of the Uruk chief, Drukordh, who resides innermost of the camps.

Lore
- Long ago, this place served as the keep of proud Nan Wathren. It fell into ruins after the city of Fornost was destroyed by the Witch-king of Angmar, and has lain abandoned for many long years. Now the goblins have come here through dark, secret tunnels and made this crumbling fortress their own. — Deed
