Cadmius Ortho is a Molthuni general who as of 4717 AR had led the siege of the dwarven Sky Citadel Kraggodan for the previous two years.

Background

Ortho was ordered by his superiors to keep as much of Kraggodan's architecture intact as possible, which hampered his efforts as the dwarves always retreat to their guard posts and fortresses, forcing Molthuni forces to retreat after making any significant advance. Sheltered dwarven civilians returned to the upper markets after each retreat, and due to Ortho's desire to avoid spilling innocents' blood, the Molthuni were forced to advance slowly. Many of Ortho's subordinates urged him to dismantle the markets leading to the mountain peak and claim Sky Home as a forward base.
