Guc Mòr

Guc Mòr is a settlement of giant-kin within the Arden Kingdom, made known to adventurers by Sloog and Kobar.
== Description ==
The giants’ den is called, Guc Mòr which means “river mound” in Giant. Resembling a beaver dam, it straddles a river. The lower level of the den is lodged between two rocky outcroppings and made of piled timber packed with clay and mud, with hollow cavities that resemble caves. Above this piled timber foundation is a mud steading (a house made to giant scale) with a log roof. The structure is an impressive feat of engineering, well beyond the ability of hill giants to fabricate on their own. In fact, Guc Mòr's design is the work of hobgoblin and goblin engineers, assembled with the might of giant and ogre laborers. East of the steading is a yard enclosed by a 20-foot-high palisade wall made of logs lashed together with thick twine.
Guc Mòr is ruled by a Hill Giant by the name of Karmog, overseeing the settlement of ogres, hill giants and stone giants. Another race amongst his court were creatures called Kapre, though only Faoltosg made himself known to the group as he mischievously used illusions and enchantments to deceive them for his own pleasure, powers that came innately to the fey-giant.
Within their prisons, was a scholarly wizard of giant lore by the of Ceòbuc. With the use of suggestions, the party were able to gain insight and translations of the archaic script upon the sword of Faoimórach.
== Rulership ==
It is understood that many clans of different races of giant-kin look to Guc Mòr as stewards of their kind, some even referring to Karmog himself as their King. Whilst they do not consider themselves subservient to the Hill Giant, they so see wisdom and honour in his rulership and often seek his good graces through mutual beneficial alliances during skirmishes and expeditions. Disputes between clans are often settled by the King of Guc Mòr as an arbitrator in the conflict, with his judgement seen as wise and tempered.
