Gorog the Wise

Gorog the Wise was a highly intelligent human male who resided in the area of Anchorage during the beginning times and lived for quite a while during and after the War of Gods. Originally only a chief of a small tribe residing in Anchorage, he eventually became known as the first chief of the Akorengans after the local people of Anchorage unified during the War of Gods. He is also the father of Gorog the Unwise, grandfather of Gorog the Brave, great-grandfather of Gorog the Great, great-great-grandfather of Gorog the Average and Gorog the Evil, great-great-great-grandfather of Gorog the Modern and Gorog the Traditional, great-great-great-great grandfather of Gorog the Frozen and Gorog the God, and great-great-great-great-great grandfather of Gorog the Sick. He would be a beacon of knowledge and unity among his people until he died at the age of 103 at the hands of Gibble the Deceptive.

## Origin

Due simply to lack of recorded evidence, theres not a ton we known about Gorog's early life beyond the fact he was a member a small tribe that resided in Anchorage, specifically in the ice caves that littered the glacial walls, Apparently, he was noticed at a young age as having a intellect beyond the majority of his contemporaries. As his name would imply, he is considered to be the wisest of all Akorengans to live. Over time, he would establish himself as chief of his tribe.

## War of Gods

When the War of Gods brought the Divine Loquati Empire to Anchorage, they quickly upended life for the Akorengans. The Loquati slaughtered countless people, raided villages and forced people out of their homes. Up until this time, the various tribes of Anchorage (known as Akorenga until the inhabitation of the Loquati) lived seperate lives, but when the Loquati forced them out of their homes they were able to take refuge with the tribe inhabiting the one place the Loquati had no interest in, the ice caves. By this time, Gorog had already become chief of his tribe, and he realized that his people would stand no chance if he did not accept his neighbors. With nowhere else to go, the Akorengans finally found themselves all in the same place, under the same icy roof, seeking guidance from the same wise man. From then on, the Gorog the Wise would be known as the chief of the Akorengans, a now unified peoples.

Gorog the Wise, in addition to practical knowledge, also had a firm grasp of battle strategies and logistics. He would organize his strongest fighters into small, semi-independant guerilla groups that would utilize their knowledge of the region to ambush and raid lightly defended Loquati storage depots, outposts, and caravans. These groups would be very successful and would allow the Akorengans to survive off this up until the end of the war.

## End of the War

After the end of the war, when Titanoth destroyed nearly all of Anchorage Keep, it would be Gorog the Wise who would lead his people back into their homeland and resettle it. He would officially decree Titanoth as a divine savior of their people that should be worshipped and respected. He would also take residence in the remains of Anchorage Keep, the location that would traditionally become the residence of all chiefs that would come after. During this time he fathered Gorog the Unwise, an individual who lacked nearly all intellectual capabilities of his father and would basically be a puppet of Gibble the Deceptive.

## Death

While ruling, Gorog the Wise would come to trust an individual known as Gibble the Trustworthy (later known as Gibble the Deceptive). He would rely on Gibble for advice in matters he was not familiar with yet and trusted Gibble with the administration of the smaller communities in Anchorage, Unfortunately for Gorog the Wise, however, Gibble was secretly plotting to overthrow Gorog and take the title of chief for himself. Opportunity would present itself when Gibble realized that Gorog the Wise's son was incompetant and would make a perfect puppet.

At the age of 103, Gorog the Wise was slain in secret by Gibble the Deceptive who poisoned Gorog's meal. He would then go on to basically act as chief via Gorog the Unwise until Gibble himself was slain by Gorog the Unwise's son, Gorog the Brave, after he discovered Gibble's actions.
