Amon Amlug

Virtually the only patch of ground in the Fen Tundra that remains dry year-round, Amon Anlug stands southeast of the Bleak Mountains, near enough to be one of the larger foothills of those peaks. Amon Anlug gets its name from Ningarach, a large marsh-drake that dwells in a small cavern in the knoll's western slope. The Orcs of the Bleak Mountains and neighboring marsh drakes acknowledge Ningarach as mistress of the Fen Tundra. She can sometimes be seen sitting atop the hill, surveying her fetid domain. In origin, Ningarach's lair is actually an ancient Ore-hold, which the drake merely occupied (after devouring most of its inhabitants), finding it roomy and commodious. Unless provoked, Ningarach seldom ventures forth from the fens to trouble the Lumimiehet; but if disturbed by hunters near her lair, Ningarach's anger spills forth, destroying one or two Lumimies villages in reprisal. Ningarach does not care to be disturbed in her lair, and she attacks trespassers immediately. Normally aloof if encountered elsewhere, Ningarach (like all dragons) has a soft spot for flattery.
