Torgan

On day 56 we received news that Torgan had fallen to the Orcs:

On day 99 we heard that Torgan had been retaken by Alvera.

*"Torgan has fallen to the Orcs, there was a coup. Most of the Giant tribes under Grih have retreated South, but some have sided with Ghoulagabba."*

On day 94, Bez Drock said that Alvera was about to start a campaign to retake **Torgan**.

## Morac

At the bottom of Vinmira's scroll (written in Magic) there is the name 'Morac' in a simple code next to an embossed symbol of the Wild. Umar remembers that Morac was someone high-up in **Torgan**.

## Legendary link to necromancy

Legend 8 - The Mithril Dragon refers to Shadow Warriors coming out of Torgan - a point that is commented on by Onwen.

## Older info

**Torgan** ~~is~~ *was* the capital of the Giants.

Some people refer to it as a **Chaoshold**, others claim that the old Orcish worship of the Temple of the Dead is still practiced within the city

**Military Force: The Dedicated (**Torgan**) – approx.. 800**

Elite Giant infantry, all sworn in loyalty to Grih-Torgan, they serve both as his bodyguard and also the core of Torgans military might.
Commander: Grih-Torgan

## Day 21-27 – The second week in Northlake

Torgan itself crouches on the edge of one of the swathes of land devastated during the early Troll Wars during the Time of Chaos (Age of Chaos???), originally inhabited by Orcs the city was conquered by nomadic Giant tribes who then settled in the region. Since then Torgan has long been a thorn in the side of the Old Kingdom up until the peace treaty between Alvera and Grih Torgan. The tale of that alliance has been told any number of times and seems to grow in scale and dramatics with every telling. Although Giants are now well accepted within the East, and indeed a number of giant tribes have migrated deeper into the kingdom, there are still some suspicions about Torgan itself. Some people refer to it as a Chaoshold, others claim that the old Orcish worship of Dekatur is still practiced within the city (nearly every Giant encountered will normally worship Shanah or Wyldwood – but then again few encountered are from the city itself). Grih Torgan himself, whilst the ruler of the city actually makes his home outside of the city in a nearby township – nobody really understands why.

## 'Mad' Giant who probably had Clearsight

Olg Stonemaker: There is a Giant at Torgan, really really old guy, that about 20 years ago began babbling about the coming of Dragons. For his troubles the local tribe imprisoned him in a cave, believing him mad. Personally I believe that he had developed clearsight and was remembering something from his childhood, or was foreseeing the Elves – I never got to meet him and am now tied to Northlake so likely never will – if he is still alive.”

## Day 6a - Lunch with Vinmira

Torgan is the Giants capital, huge fortifications and generally quite difficult to get to – no road as such. Most people get there by boat from one of the small fishing villages on the Burning Lake….. nah that place isn’t dangerous….. just called that cos of some bright red lily that grows only there.
