History

Erected at around 1550 under supervision of Rex Kharak'Raguk to make the orcs thrive again. No big mentionable events have taken place that made the city so, or made the orcs leave the old one. It was just a given that it was time for a new city, to centralise the orcs.

Construction

The city was constructed by the main Yazgurten of that time: Muthraka and thus was called: San'Thraka. The design much resembling that of a highelven citadel but more opened and mainly constructed out of sandstone, for that was the resource at hand. From a defensive point of view multiple towers contain artillery pieces to fend off any sieges.

Geography

The Citadel is located to the east of the previous city, close to the seas in between the Uzg and the northern continent. The area being nothing but desert land. Near the city are few hills whom have been dug out to house the Fud Clan, which is comprised of Ologs. Small patches of fertile land were created to serve as farmland.

Notable Figures

Government

The city is ruled by the Rex and the Rex his council, comprised of the Dominus and few Targoths.

Society

The inhabitants of the city are of mixed bloodlines. Instead of the traditional districts for clans, the city now houses all clans of the War Uzg. Several districts were made for goblins, shamans and ologs(Whom are housed in a nearby cave).

Economy

As it is known, the orcs do not use the Mina as their currency and resort to a more primitive way of trading in their culture.

Laws

The standard laws for the Uzg apply. Emphasis put on the fact that all orcs behave in an honorable fashion, and thus are not made whitewash.

Culture

As it is known, the orcish culture is far more barbaric and primitive. Their entire behavior shaped around their concept of honor. More information on orc culture can be found Here: [[1]]

Art

The main art output of the city and therfore, the Uzg. Is the art of warfare. Also the orcish blacksmithing can be considered an art. For their creations outmatch many in the realm in terms of cruelty and savagery.

Literature

As the orcs themselves do not posses the ability to write well with their rather massive appearance, it are mostly the goblins that dedicate themselves to literature. Books written about the spirits, whom are narrated to the goblins by the shamans, fill the libraries of San'Thraka. These old tomes often contain rituals and phrases in the Old Blah, the language spoken by the spirits.

Music

Music is not part of the orcish culture. The main form of music made would be that of the orcish wardrums or the warhorns.

Religion

The main and only tolerated religion in the orcish lands and thus also San'Thraka is the Spiritual Faith. All orcs believe that there are multiple realms beyond the one of mortals, where the spirits live and take care of everything imaginable. Shamans are the orcish priests and can serve as a bridge between the spiritual and mortal realm.
