#### Ilya Island

To the south-east of Ilya lies the [orc fortress](https://defynia.gitbook.io/defynia-docs/storyline/places/ilya-island/orc-fortress), a stronghold of the fierce orc clans who seek to enslave the island's inhabitants and plunder its riches. The orcs are a cruel and ruthless people, feared and hated by all who know of them. They are led by a powerful warlord, who commands his army with an iron fist, and seeks to conquer all of Defynia.

In the south-west of Ilya, [IronForge](https://defynia.gitbook.io/defynia-docs/storyline/places/ilya-island/dwarf-mines) is the home to a peaceful race of dwarfs, who spend their days mining the rich veins of ore that lie beneath the earth. The dwarfs are a proud and honorable people, but they are wary of outsiders, and do not welcome visitors to their mines. They are also deeply concerned about the orc invasion, but are unsure of how to defend themselves against it.

But there is more to Defynia than just Ilya. Across the sea lies the [frozen island of Rivenn](https://defynia.gitbook.io/defynia-docs/storyline/places/ilya-island/rivenn-island), a land of ice and snow, where the temperature is always below freezing. Rivenn is a place of great beauty, but it is also home to many deadly creatures, including the legendary flesh-eating yeti. The villagers of Ilya fear to venture there, but some brave souls have made the journey, seeking to uncover the island's secrets and survive its dangers.

As a hero in Defynia, you will be tasked with defending Ilya from the orc raiders, and exploring the mysteries of Rivenn. With powerful weapons and magic at your disposal, you must brave the dangers of the [orc fortress](https://defynia.gitbook.io/defynia-docs/storyline/places/ilya-island/orc-fortress) and the [dwarf mines](https://defynia.gitbook.io/defynia-docs/storyline/places/ilya-island/dwarf-mines), and uncover the truth behind the legend of the yeti. Will you rise to the challenge, and become a hero of Defynia? The fate of the island is in your hands.
