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.[1]
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.[1]
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.[1]
