Gram Turok
The Capital city of The Valkol Horde, a large city that was built out of the remains of the industrial war machine that fuelled the final war of the first age. With a distinct Orc architecture of incorporating all material into making the building, with zero waste material, this is a striking city for any visitor.
Demographics
Mostly Orcs, though there are small pockets of different races. They tend to all consist of the same wealth class due to the culture the Orcs have.
Government
Ran by the Peace Council, the military leadership of the Horde.
Infrastructure
Everything that a capital would need, including a dockyards. The city is built among the ruins of the industrial war machine of the first age. Houses are built into the sides of giant furnaces and around old fighting pits.
History
Gram Turok was founded towards the end of the first age, when The Crimson Betrayer and his lieutenants were gearing up for war with Estellia. The city was a massive area for construction of gear and training of warriors. Orcs were not born, but created directly by the major god. All of this left the land barren and dead, even after the war had concluded the land took decades to regrow and the Orcs were spread out across the land without purpose.
Eventually they did return to this settlement, and with their new outlook on life they decided to rebuild around what they had before. The city today is large and winding, walking across the settlement can get someone lost multiple times over if you are not from the city. The city is well defended, if only by necessity with how the rest of the world still views the horde with disdain for what happened in the first age.
Points of interest
The hall of regret is a monument to those who perished in the first age war, a place where the people of this nation remember those who died and the mistakes they made.
Near the city is a dungeon of one of the Lieutenants of the betrayer. It has yet to be cleared out.
