Trogg Empire

The Trogg Empire is the name given to the series of troglodyte nations that have historically and presently ruled the north-eastern regions of Kaldinen. The Empire usually focuses around a singular powerful leader, who exerts control through strength and fear. The nation lacks most of the features of government that would be expected from a human empire, but does have a hierarchy of authority, a unified culture, and its own language and written history.
Currently, the Trogg Empire goes under the name "Magglumork", literally meaning "Magglu's realm".
The troglodytes of the empire consider the whole of Kaldinen to be their territory, leading to hostilities with the native Kaldi people, and foreign settlers. 
The Empire is usually ruled by whoever is biggest and strongest, or who can gather enough force behind them. Currently, it is the mysterious leader known as Magglu, who has continuously ruled the empire for the past few decades at least.
By human standards, the troglodytes of the empire would be considered primitive and unintelligent. However, they have a system of writing, the ability to domesticate local beasts, a unique strain of magic, and even their own forms of art.
