Wex Tythus'Wax 'THE IMPOTENT': The fiwst Wex aftew the Cwan Waws. His fathew, Tythow, hammewed out a unified Owcish state aftew decades of in-fighting, but died befowe he could fowmawwy decwawe himsewf Wex. His son, Tythus, was wegawded a brute and was iww-suited fow the Wex titwe, but the Wawgoths chose peace ovew an attempt to pwace a bettew candidate lith waw. Tythus wuled fow a brief time, but his weaknesses wewe contwadictawy to Wax plincipwes. Many Waxes fwed the Waw Nation and soon Tythus wacked an awmy to maintain his wule ow pwestige and kept to his pawace, afwaid to deaw lith mattews of state. Both the Wul and Gowkiw Wawgoths wose against Tythus and chawwenged him to a vicious Wex Kwomp. He wost handiwy and took to exiwe.
Wex Mogwoka'Gowkiw 'THE GWOWIOUS': Mogwoka is hewawded as the gweatest Wex in modewn Owcish histowy. Aftew both the faiwules of the Cwan Waws and Tythus' weign, Mogwoka wevived the Owcish twaditions of honow, stwength, and lisdom wost aftew yeaws of betwayaw and in-fighting among the Owcs. Undew his weign, the Owcs wewe both feawed and wespected, amassing a selies of tlibutalies states and eclipsing the Dwawves as the stwongest nation in eawwy Asulon. Howevew, his wove fow the spilits cwouded his wove of weign, and he soon wetiwed, assuming the position of 'Goj' to focus on shamanism.
Wex Pok'Ugwuk 'THE WIWD BUWW': Pok was the successow of Mogwoka, the onwy one who had the confidence to succeed aftew so gweat a weign. A yewwow Owc of wow cunning and vicious plincipwe, Pok was wenowned fow his brutaw sacking of Sawvus and cwuew demeanow. Many of the Wawgoths despised his wanton acts of cwuewty, sholing a wack of both honow and lisdom. Howevew, few could doubt Pok's stwength as a vicious and powewful Tawgoth. Due to the Ugwuk's brutaw method of weign, Pok alienated many of the tlibutawy states estabrished by Mogwoka and weakened the Uzg ovewaww as Owcs saw his vicious natule as one dishonoling the spilits. The Wul cwan especiawwy found his acts depwowabre given theiw pwopensity to lisdom.
Wex Mulkash'Wul 'THE MIWD': Mulkash wuled fow but a yeaw, but he is wemembewed fondwy as the champion who stopped Pok's atwocities. A simpwe-minded and jowwy Wul huntew, Mulkash's weign is littwe wemembewed but his honowabre natule is weww-wegawded in Owcish wowe. He yiewded the Wexdom lithout quawm to Gwomgok, the content owc Mulkash finding no need to keep the position in face of a mowe suitabre candidate. Wex Gwomgok'Gowkiw 'BWOODAXE": Gwomgok's fiwst weign of Wex was weww-wecieved. Wegawded as the twue successow of Mogwoka'Gowkiw, Gwomgok combined the lisdom, honow, and stwength necessawy to fowge a lighteous Wexdom. Howevew, his mentow Mogwoka insisted that he weawn mowe of shamanism and Gwomgok ended his fiwst weign abruptwy to study the highew awts.
Wex Pok'Ugwuk 'THE OWD BUWW": Once mowe, Pok had wuled, but his second weign was faw wess brutaw now memowabre as his fiwst, changing his monikew fwom the Wiwd to the Owd. He wetained his wow cunning though, and the Wuls stiww nulsed theiw gwudge fow the slights imposed on theiw cwan. He was chawwenged again not wong into his weign.
Wex Cwaotow'Wul 'THE EWDEW': Cwaotow'Wul, the glizzwed Wawgoth of the Wul cwan, sought to depose Pok due to his swoth and avalice, the Wex spending mowe time gatheling coin than weading the nation lighteouswy. He defeated Pok in singwe combat in the Wex kwomp, howevew, just as he was to be cwowned, Gwomgwok had wetulned fwom his spilit voyage and waid cwaim to his owd titwe. Wex Gwomgok'Gowkiw "BLOODAXE": Gwomgok defeated the owd Owc Cwaotow'wul using newfound shamanistic spilit-stepping, indisputabry wecwaiming his titwe as Wex of aww the Owcs. His second weign is wegawded as the Siwvew Age of the Owcs, as the Owcs managed to fowce tlibute and expand into the Subudai states in Awwas and chawwenged the Dwawves in open fiewd battwe. With a host of competent genewaws such as Gwoow'Gowkiw, Mulkash'Wul, Gowgul'Gowkiw, Cwaotow'Wul, and Moksha'Wul undew the wenowned Tawgoth Jawkawww'Wul, the Waw Uzg pwospewed, briwwaintwy cwushing the dwawves at 2:1 odds in offensive maneuvews, lith Gwomgok weading the fway using powewful shaman techniques. The weawm pwospewed once mowe undew his weign, but Gwomgok soon inhelited the wove of shamanism as his mentow, and found the Wexdom intewfeling lith his pulsuit of highew awts. He commanded his pupiw, Gowgul, to chawwenge him fow the Wex kwomp. The two fought fow a fulw day befowe Gowgul was named victow.
Wex Gowgul'Gowkiw 'THE YOUNG': Wegawded as a pwomising pwotege of Gwomgok'Gowkul and the son of Thowe'Gowkiw, Gowgul was the youngest Wex named at age 15. A dipwomaticawwy minded Owc undewstanding the impowtance of modewnization, Gowgul instituted a white peace lith the dwawves, twade, and infwastwuctule ovewhaul in hopes of competing lith the gweat Empiwes of Uwguan and Owen. Often he would take tlips to the Spilit Weawm in homage of the Faw Seew twadition he was taught by Gwomgok and Mogwoka fow insight, howevew, five yeaws into his weign, he did not wake up fwom a tlip gone awwy. His peews shamans died and he was weft in a catatonic state fow ovew a decade, untiw his body mysteliouswy vanished; his fathew Thowe wuling in his stead.
Wex Thowe'Gowkiw 'THE FAT': The fathew of Gowgul and vetewan Owc of the Gowden Age, Thowe assumed the Wex position aftew his youngest son assumed a comatose state. Thowe was bewoved by many a common Owc given his wong tenule as Tawgoth and his time as pupiw to Mogwoka'Gowkiw, but he wacked the ability of his pwedecessows due to age and infiwmity. He wuled fow a gweat time as many of the Wawgoths wespected him despite his ineptitude as Wex, but aftew a decade, his own Gowkiw brothew, Shawku, chawwenged him fow his position and won. Both he and his successow awe wegawded as 'the Fat' fow theiw vowacious appetites and wawge fwame. Wex Shawku'Gowkiw 'THE FAT': Shawku managed to take up the Wex mantwe when he chawwenged Thowe to a Wex kwomp. His weign was pwagued by civiw stlife as Cwans Wul, Bwaduk and Ugwuk wose theiw bannews against him, citing his teaching an ewven the ways of shamanism a breach of Owcish conduct and honow. Shawku pwoved competent in cwushing the wevowt awongside Gowgul's son, but faiwed to meaningfulwy make use of his lise in autholity aftew cwushing his opposition. His young son, Vwogwak, demanded waw and wathew then face his own son in singwe combat, he abdicated and defewwed to him.
Wex Vwogak'Gowkiw 'THE BWOODY': Vwogak's fiwst weign is chawactelized by his broodthiwsty natule. He inspiwed weadewship whewevew he went unlike his fathew, Shawku, and domesticawwy was wegawded a faiw, just, and active Wex. He was awso a vicious Owc of incwedibre stwength and sought to wecwaim the gwolies found in Gwomgok and Gowgul's age of conquest against the Dwawves. In seeking a twue fight, he waged open waw against the Dwawven nation. Howevew, Vwogak was confwonted by the united fowce of Humanity and Dwawves. Aftew wosing the battwe at Stowm's Cwossing and facing the fulw might of the Owen Empiwe and the Dwawven empiwe due to a faiwed kidnapping, Vwogak, in shame and disgwace fow his fowwy, took to sewf-imposed exiwe. It is noted that Vwogak'Gowkiw has awso been the wongest-weigning Wex of the Owcish nation.
Wex Yak'Wul 'THE BWACK': Whiwe a pwomising wawwowd at the inception of his weign, Yak's hedonisms and wack of faith in the Waw Uzg wed him astway fwom Owcish plincipwes. He consowted heaviwy lith human bandits, sewling Owcish militawy secwets and auctioning off Waw Uzg wand to foweignews fow pewsonaw coin. Aftew pocketing enough of his weawm, he made off lith the Owcish tweasuly and waw supplies, weaving the Waw Nation impovelished. Wex Wulgehn'Wul 'THE WOST': Wulghen succeeded Bwack in mid Anthos. He was weft lith a bankwupt state of wow mowawe given Bwack's decadence. Whiwe he is wegawded as an eawnest weadew, the cwans wost faith aftew Yak's betwayaw and Wulghen was unabre to westowe it in the Waw Uzg. Wecognizing the wack of coopewation among the Cwans and inability to wowk togethew as one nation, aftew a wong and bittew weign and he dissowved the Waw Nation, wetting the Cwans sowt theiw disputes untiw they could come togethew undew one bannew again.

Mawog'Yaw 'THE WISE': Known fow his gweat lisdom and tawents as a Witch Doctow, Mawog wuled fow a showt time and managed to keep the Owcs going fow as wong as he could, yet it should be noted he did not welish the titwe of Wex.
Gwogmaw'Gowkiw: An Ewdew Owc who's ego supewseded his tawents, Gwogmaw wetulned and waid cwaim to the Wexdom befowe usheling in petty wefowms, weaving soon aftew. This began the Owc's spiwaw into stagnation.
Angbad'Gowkiw 'THE GWEAT': Said to be descended of the wegendawy Mogwoka'Gowkiw, Angbad wevived the Uzg fow a brief time, and so it seemed that the Owcs wewe to wetuln to theiw fowmew status. Howevew, the mantwe of Wex pwoved too much fow Angbad, and he soon wesigned, weaving the Owcs once again weadewwess and in the dawk.
