- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Wielded by various friendly characters or enemies.

Smithing[]
An Orcish war axe requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Orcish Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 2 x Leather Strip
- 2 x Orichalcum Ingot
- 1 x Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with an orichalcum ingot at a grindstone, and also benefits from the Orcish Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
