Tva (T-vaw)

Två was once nothing more than a small outpost for The Crown's army long ago, built around a massive wall through the center of the Plains of Thunder. The outpost was meant to be a defensible position should The Imperium Aereum ever get any warlike ideas. The outpost was left mostly abandoned since their leave, being occupied by various monsters and bandit tribes until roughly a decade ago when The Ordening of Giants began colonizing the area. Now the city is a marking point between neutral territory and territory held by the Giants. The Ettin warriors who have been sent to act as a front line here have built a massive, yet primitive village behind the wall with the creatures guarding the wall at all times. The Ettin have, with this, been declared the guardians of the lesser giants. This has not remedied the negative feelings toward the Greater giants. The Ettins hold a paranoid distrust of the lesser giants with loyalty directed to the Hill Giants. Now, with the aid of the ignorant Ogres, the Ettin are gearing up for war against the Trolls of Ogudaktig, and the Goliath in Liten Jätte to ensure nobody will punch up at the creatures when they inevitably come to blows with the hill Giants of Föda.

Demographics

• Ettin
• Goliath
• Human (exploited class)

Government

Day to day operations, command, and tax collection falls on the Warchiefs Barokir and Dorokir. The Warchiefs take command from their Hill Giant leaders in Föda and pay their collected taxes back to them.

Defences

• Powerful wall
• Strong Ettin Guards
• Political Protections (Protection Pact from the Ordening of Giants)

Industry & Trade

The Ettin, frankly, aren't smart enough to form much industry on their own, let alone maintain it. Their efforts in farming are extremely primitive and not very prosperous.        Where their economy really shines is in the Livestock that they keep and the Etting Raiding parties that March across the Planes of Thunder, collecting tax from weaker creatures. They also get large boosts in food and specialized equipment from Föda to aid their service in defending the Wall of Två.

Infrastructure

• Agriculture
• Livestock
• Taxes

Districts

• The Village- the massive huts and bungalows that make up the residential homes and farms of the Ettin and their families
• The Pit- a training ground for Ettin as well as the spot The Warchief's longhouse sits.
• Outer Human Hamlets- small farmsteads and homes that are frequently robbed, and destroyed by the Ettin. 

Assets

• Large Tax income (food and hides)

Guilds and Factions

• The Ordening of Giants
• The StorLiten Rebels

History

Två was originally Deterian's Wall Outpost when it was founded by the Crown. Th outpost was created to protect the several human farmsteads and Hamlets that speckled the norther Plains of Thunder. This was considered a gift to celebrate the crowning of Crownsguard Deterian and also add a headquarters for the guards defending these poorer, less population dense, and unmapped settlements. When the Crown left Ómar Crún, the outpost was left completely bare. The wall quickly fell to bandits, under Salted Wound banners. The Thugs terrorized the region for nearly 20 years before The Ordening of Giants cast the lesser Giants to the Plains of Thunder to earn their space. There was nearly no resistance from the human bandits when the Etting ran through, destroying their buildings and farms.  Now the Ettins are unhappy with this land. There is not nearly enough food and the Trolls to the north in Ogadaktig are flexing their muscles as the Hill Giants of Föda's chosen Enforcers. The Ettins now have formed a secret alliance with the Plains of Thunder's Goliath and Ogre population, hoping to overthrow their masters when the opportunity presents itself.
