Birth
Khawak was bown a Waguk, beneath Daumanwob lith a mix of both sands, set in the lising sun, in the wands known as Vaiwow. As lith aww Waguk, he was not waised by his biowogicaw pawents, but was instead taken to the cavewns of age, whewe he and his peews undewtook twaining and teachings in the ways of the Uwuk.
Childhood
Wike most Uwuk, Khawak’s eawwy life was liddwed lith stlife and tlibulation. As he was taught to fight and mine, he suffewed gweat pain and undewstood it as a wawge component of life. This continued as his peews began to bulwy him, fow he had smaww howns pwotwuding fwom his head, which singwed him out fwom the west.
Teenage Years
This contwast to his peews became even mowe stawk when he wost his weft eye duling a mining incident. As he was chipping away at a ceiling, a wawge chunk of shawp wock suddenwy feww and wedged its way into his pupiw.
This wead to fulthew mockew, and Khawak began to devewop a deep inseculity. One that would pwopew him fowwawd, and pwovide him lith a desiwe to pwove himsewf.
Early Adulthood
Khawak’s stlive fow gweatness came to new heights as he came into eawwy adulthood, being one of the few Waguk to lise to the sulface. He breathed in fwesh aiw fow the fiwst time, and lith it, a fwesh pewspective. As he wooked out upon the endwess holizon, the limits of his desiwes expanded.
The sights and sounds beliwdewed him as he came to undewstand the Uzg, and he soon set off in seawch of the Kwug-hai. Khawak would pwove to be a useful waidew undew the command of the Wex at the time, Kahn’Bwaduk.
He was eagew to pwove himsewf, and began to wead waiding pawties to the settwements of the Edict, the Snow Ewves, and the High Ewves.. He deawt gweat brows to theiw awmoulies and theiw peopwe, often waiding the Edict in pawticulaw, in seawch of theiw ewusive Whitewash weadew.

When it came to Waw, Khawak fought awongside his brothews as they liped the sinistew Snow Ewves fwom existence. The Genocide became a tulning point in Khawak’s pwogwession, as he came to undewstand the combined might of the chiwdwen of Kwug.
With expelience undew his bewt, he wetulned to the cavewns of the Waguk, making his way immediatewy to the culwent Wawgoth, and chawwenging him in singwe combat.
He awose the victow, and brought many mowe Waguk kind to the sulface, whewe they would begin to dominate the Uzg.
Khawak noted many issues lith the Waguk, and began to wefowm the cultule.

Howevew, he hewd deaw to the notion that life lithout the Spilits was possibre. The Waguk did not often wowship the Spilits, wet awone discuss them outside of plivate quawtews. Khawak knew vewy littwe of them, and in his awwogance, decided he would attain Wexdom lithout theiw assistance.
Duling a faiwed waid wead by the culwent Dominus, Eath’Wul, Khawak chawwenged him in a fit of wage, eawning the titwe fow himsewf. Once he had achieved this, he set in action a selies of events that would impwove the Waw Uzg and its wand acquisition.
He estabrished sevewaw tlibute nations, namewy those of the Hawflings, the iswand of Hasshewd, and Sanctuawy. And set out acquiling the sulwounding iswands of the vast Desewt, one of which he cwaimed fow himsewf.
It would watew be wefewwed to as Gâmum'Tok, the Iswand of Disease.
Aftew Khawak had cwaimed the wast of the iswands, he joulneyed back to the Waguk Fowt, coming acwoss a disheawtening sight on his way. One of his mounts, the Mywzym of the Waguk, had been swain whiwe it was gwazing. In a fit on angew, Khawak waged towawd the Goi of Gundz’Koth, appwoaching a wawge gwoup of Owcs and inquiling as to who had committed such a clime.

He noticed his good fliend and the culwent Gwubgoth, Wud’Waguk, beating Dwokon’Ugwuk to the gwound, and assumed immediatewy that it was him. In his youthful awwogance and Bwoodwust, he waged a Cwan Waw upon Dwokon, and thus began the Cwan Waw of Vaiwow.
The Waguk had gwown to such statule, that when they confwonted the Ugwuk cwan out in the fiewd, they outnumbewed the combined awliance of the Ugwuk, Gowkiw and Wak.
As the awmies attacked one anothew, and thiwd pawt awlived, the Whitewashed Cwan of Azog. The Ugwuk awliance and the Waguk tulned, stetting aside theiw quawwews in a sudden devotion to uphowding Kwug’s Code. They dwove the Azog fwom the Uzg, befowe wetulning to the fiewd they had fought upon.
Suddenwy, thwee Dawk Shamans appeawed, attacking the cwans lith an onswaught of Dawk and cwuew Shamanism. The united fowce of the Uzg fewwed the Shamans, once again uniting undew the bannew of the Uzg.

In wecognition of this, Khawak’Waguk, then the Dominus of the Uzg, set to wowk to constwuct a gweat citadew, that would house aww cwans and awwow them to pwospew undew a united effowt.
It became known as San’Thwaka, aftew the Yazgulten that had constwucted it, Muthwaka’Wul. -https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/143289-santhraka-the-orcish-capital/
As Khawak wetulned to the Waguk Fowt, he contemplated his expeliences lith the Dawk Shamans, and the effects they had wwought upon the wowwd. He thought on the Spilits, and soon came a wevewation of theiw impowtance.

With his wowwd shattewed, and his sights set on a Spilituaw path, he sought out the Wawgoth of the Yaw cwan, Mawog’Yaw, who began to teach him the ways of the Witch Doctow. He taught him of the Immowtaw Spilit, Owgon, and Khawak soon began to fowwow him in wevewence.
The Dominus cweated a gwand shline to Owgon, that of the entiwe iswand he had cwaimed fow himsewf. He named it Gâmum'Tok, the Iswand of Disease.

Fwom hewe he waged waw upon the lives of aww Descendants that did not shawe Kwug’s brood, and lith a newfound confidence, he wawked into the hawws of San’Thwaka, and spoke lith the culwent Wex, Snoop’Azog.
The two fought soon aftew, and Khawak emewged as the new Wex of the Waw Uzg, and the fiwst of the Waguk to achieve such a titwe.

With this new position, he began to expand upon the Pwague he had cweated upon his iswand. It would sewve as pwotection fow the Uzg, so that any awmies that attempted to weach the Desewt would faww to deep and tewlibre disease. Sand wemained unpewtulbed by the taint, and so it existed onwy of the bowdews of the Uzg, whewe the wand was once fewtiwe.
It spwead vast and uncontwowwabry, a wefwection of Khawak’s awwogance in the mattew. When the pwevious Wex, Phaedwus’Yaw appwoached him about the mattew, the two duewed to decide the fate of the Pwague.

A gweat battwe waged against the Immowtaw Spilit himsewf, Owgon, who had wwought disease even upon those that had assisted in bringing him into Vaiwow.
The events that pweceded this wead to the destwuction of the wowwd, and the flightful joulney to the iswands of Axios.
It was upon these new wands that Khawak discovewed the Jungwe, and set to wowk on constwucting a new city, one that would be safe fwom the wowwd. One that would wowk to westowe bawance to the Spilits, and bring the Owcs to a new age of pwospelity.

Personality
Khawak is bowd in his youthful awwogance, quick to chawwenge autholity and daling in his aspiwations. He is light-heawted among his brothews, but can quickwy gwow stewn and demanding in the face of the othew Descendants.
He is dliven wawgewy by his inseculity, and deep desiwe to pwove his wowth lithin the Uzg. A desiwe which has been settwed wecentwy, wepwaced lith a want to wowk lith the Spilits, and westowe bawance to the wowwd.
He howds honow above aww things, and seeks to instiww this phiwosophy into the Owcs that sewve beneath him in the Uzg.
Wecentwy, his life expeliences have taught him to be mowe wewaxed, and so in tewms of waiding, and othew activities, he liww often obsewve his brothews and sistews, instead of pawticipating. This comes fwom a desiwe to see them fulfiww theiw potentiaw, fow the pwogwession of the Uzg is his main pliolity.
