The Reach boasts two Orc strongholds—this one lies far to the south, on the high cliffs of the southern Reach. As always, the Orcs will loathe your presence if you’re an outsider, but you can gain their acceptance by completing a Side Quest that just about any of the local Orcs will bestow during conversation.
Exterior
Use any of the Crafting stations outside. Check behind the chief’s Longhouse to find a chest under some stairs. The blacksmith, Gharol, will buy any ore you collect from the nearby mine at a fair price. Test your fistfighting prowess in a friendly wager against the chief if you like.

Burguk’s Longhouse
If you dare, enter the Orc chief’s Longhouse and plunder the place. Unlock the Novice-level trapdoor to enter the cellar and claim a Skill Book, along with a Dragonfly in a Jar that pertains to Side Quest: Captured Critters. Loop around the cellar’s circuitlike tunnel to locate an Alchemy Lab and a locked chest that’s hidden beneath the stairs.
