Hîgropor is a landmark within Nan Wathren, in North Downs. ^{[18.6S, 46.2W]}

This Orc camp is located in the southern reaches of North Downs. Long ago, this place was a proud fortress but long since it has lain desolate. However, recently strong forces of Orcs made their way here and set up camp from where they raid the neighbourhood.

While all mobs within Nan Wathren are a challenge to any well-trained warriors, the breed of Hîgropor is even stronger, the body-guards of 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
