A mortar is a large Gun which fires low velocity, high-arching explosive shells. They were used extensively as seige weapons by the Alliance during the Third War. Mortars are used by the Dwarven armies of Khaz Modan as a mobile form of artillery, when cannons simply can not be rolled in. Dwarven Mortar teams consist of a carrier/gunner and a spotter/loader. They are well known for their battlecry, "MORTAR COMBAT!"
