I don't think know if the Orlanthi of Sartar have windmills, but in my gonzo-troopers-trash-Sartar tournament 'Rune Metal Jacket', the hapless PCs march off to hang an Orlanthi outlaw from a 'Cursing Tower' at Picnic Rock. The rebels have constructed a number of these towers, which have windsock-like arrangements on the top of them which supposedly blow curses upon those in their path (Fort Equinox, where the PCs come from).
To paraphrase the tournament: as the Lunar PCs approach Picnic Rock, it becomes a lot windier than before, and then cursing towers appear, their windsocks moaning and wailing eerily in the breeze. Suddenly, a chill creeps over the PCs, and things start to go wrong: someone stubs a toe, someone else drops their shield, an armour strap breaks, a strange sense of foreboding permeates the air. Hmm, must be those towers...
The towers are approximately 15 meters high and made of a number of sapling trunks lashed together as a sort of tripod.
