Or-du-Nord

Or-du-Nord

Or-du-Nord is an expansive range of terrain in the northern reaches of the Hudson River Valley in New York. It was partially occupied by a French settlement during the mid-17th century.

Nestled between the mountainside and the river, the community was protected by a palisade wall and other measures of defense, such as cannons. A nearby cave system was being mined for materials during the French and Indian War, some of which were then stocked at the settlement's warehouse.

During that conflict, the Templar Shay Cormac visited the area and robbed said warehouse of its supplies. He also explored the northern region of Or-du-Nord, which was largely untouched by civilization, save for a small building near an unfinished mine, which Shay renovated. Otherwise, the area was mostly populated by beavers and black wolves.
