Ogudaktig (Oh-goo-daw-k-tig)

Ogudaktig is a Troll city being constructed on the edge of The Swamp of the Leech and the Plains of Thunder. It is being built into a fishing settlement to catch the plentiful creatures in the nearby lake, but also to be a headquarters for SlagSmål's Destroyers. The SlagSmål Destroyers are a group of Enforcers who support Chief Guh's agenda, and act as terrorizers and tax collectors for the Hill Giants. The settlement is led by the Warchief SlagSmål the Grafted with an iron fist. They keep any non-giant races they come across as cattle, to be feasted on when they're properly fattened up. The streets themselves are stalked by SlagSmål's Destroyers to ensure things run without issue, as any problems are met with swift, unflinching violence. Currently there is a massive building being crafted in the swamps waters that is being called to any Hill Giant auditors a palace for SlagSmål. Most in town however know the truth, that it is a temple to Vaprak the Destroyer. While the worship of Vaprak is illegal under the laws of the Ordening, most in Ogudaktig do anyway, including SlagSmål and his Destroyers.

History

Ogudaktig is built upon the shattered remains of the once Crown controlled fishing village of Arlain. One shudders to imagine the fates of the villagers that lived in Arlain when the Trolls came over the hills to reduce their town to dust near the very end of the Age of Law.
