Warring States of Darguzze

## Warlords (War of the Philosopher-Kings)

* Warmaster Mudagog of the Ghost Fangs: Commands the Orcs. Leads the largest and most powerful army of Orcs, and was given the honorific of Warmaster by the most influential Orcish shamans.
* Tyrant Skraz of Qogor: Commands the Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears. Leader of Qogor, the mustering ground of the Hobgoblin Legions. Called Tyrant because there is no precedence of legitimacy behind his mastery of the city, although his rule is absolute.
* Godhand Arken Woemask: Commands the Gnolls and Flinds. A powerful Flind who claims to be the representative of Yeenoghu on earth, and wars with anyone who challenges that assertion.
* King Nox of Oddrentyn: Commands the Kobolds. Ruler of the city of Oddrentyn, a ruined human kingdom that was destroyed by a dragon, and half sunken into the earth. His title of King is contested, but he rules the largest Kobold settlement.
* High Chieftain Vask: Commands the Lizardfolk. The leader of the largest Lizardfolk tribe, having won the title by being undefeated in single combat.

## Warlords (after the War)

* Bruszrukoxl, Elder Shaman of the Lizardfolk Enclaves: Leader of the Lizardfolk who peacefully retreated and did not follow Dax. His rule is ceremonial.
* Accalliusk, Chieftain of the Blackscale Freeblades: Commands the militant Blackscale Lizardfolk, who worship Dax. He himself is possessed by a Paradax.

## The Great Awakening

After the Great Awakening, Darguzze would largely consolidate into two countries, the Kingdom of Oddrentyn and the Kingdom of Qogor, as only the Ratfolk and the Hobgoblins could claim a stable nation-state. The existence of temporary Orc, Lizardfolk, and Gnoll fiefdoms did not threaten these two kingdoms in any meaningful way.

## Cities

* Qogor
* Oddrentyn

## Gods

The various races of Darguzze primarily worship the Orc Pantheon and Goblin Pantheon, as well as the Gnoll god Yeenoghu, the kobold god Kurtulmak, and the lizardfolk god Semuanya. Their representative god on the Holy Council at the time was Maglubiyet.

After the destruction of the Throne of Atlantis, the monstrous humanoids of Darguzze eagerly turned to the worship of the great old ones, in particular becoming hosts for the elder menace, Dax. Their repsentative god on the Holy Council is Dax.
