The Shattered Ord

The former empire of the Giants, a sprawling mountainous empire now in ruin that is squabbled over by various tribes and kingdoms of Giant-kin.
The strongest among them are the various Troll Kingdoms who dominate their lesser brethren, they have several distinct cultures and languages. with a level of technology equal to the human kingdoms to their south. Tribes of Firbolg, Ogre, Cyclops, Goliath and Fomorian live in the Troll kingdoms with varying degrees of acceptance though in many they are barely considered second class citizens.
There are seven major Troll Kingdoms with dozens of minor ones serving as Vassal States, often used as pawns in maneuvering and wars between the major kingdoms. The Kingdoms are constantly embroiled in war, politicking and positioning against each other with the only unifying factor between them being their hatred for humankind.
This hatred had created a unified Troll Empire for a brief period of time 100 years ago whenever they were drawn together under the iron fist of the Troll King Grund, King of the most violent Troll Kingdom of Hargulg. Through shrewd maneuvering and outright domination he forged a singular kingdom and turned the Shattered Ord into a looming menace to the rest of the continent. A menace that soon bore fruit whenever they launched a surprise attack against the Azure Federation, a war called "The Troll Wars" by the humans and the "Ordning War" by the Trolls.
The Shattered Ord marshalled their forces and drove south into the Boral Forest, decimating the Boraldessel Duchies and creating deep rifts in the Azure Federation itself. This invasion was only stopped by the Azure Federation Army whenever they killed the Troll King in a trap at the Siege of Kessledarf. The united kingdom collapsed as their armies were destroyed and driven from the Azure Federation, losing hundreds of miles of territory that had belonged to the Kingdom of Jaegfang. This territory was turned into the Tenisva Bulwark Area, creating an enormous thorn in the pride of the Trolls and causing the next 50 years of infighting to be some of the most brutal to happen within the Shattered Ord.
There exists a constant state of war between the Jaegfang Kingdom and the Azure Federation that neither side pursues, a stalemate in the high mountain passes of found at the southern edges of the Icespire Mountains.

Hargulg
The most central of the Troll Kingdoms, they are an incredibly warlike kingdom who also has some of the most arable land in the Shattered Ord. Their capital is the ruins of the ancient capital of the Shattered Ord, Rhorxholm.
Jaefang
The southernmost Troll Kingdom, it has lost large swathes of its territory to the Azure Federation and is constantly skirmishing and prodding the defenses of the Tenisva Bulwark Area.
Kuautepetl A distant Troll Kingdom perched on high mountains above the Horned Jungle, they are relatively removed from both the culture and the politics of the southern troll Kingdoms due to their proximity to the now destroyed Kingdom Kuauitlakah. The kingdom mirrors the language and culture of its former neighbor
Trolls
A more intelligent variant of the Feral Trolls found in the wilds, these Giant-kin have formed large kingdoms in the ancient empire of the giants called the Shattered Ord. The kingdoms have a general technology level that is on par with the human kingdoms of the Azure Federation but they are less organized and more prone to infighting within the kingdoms, much less among the different kingdoms.
