Krug-Mor

Krug-Mor is a marvel of grung engineering, built into the massive trunks of prehistoric trees and stone foundations. It serves as the northernmost bastion of grung culture, bridging the gap between the wild marshes and the human lands. Stone walkways are polished smooth by webbed feet, while the lower levels house vast slave pits. The air is thick with the sound of croaking merchants and the rhythmic clanging of imported steel being distributed among the Torg elite.

History

Originally a neutral meeting ground for marsh tribes, Krug-Mor was seized by the Torg tribe three generations ago. Their dominance was cemented when they established a permanent trade route with Dragonshadow to the north. By trading raw swamp resources for human steel and luxury goods, the Torg have elevated Krug-Mor into a regional superpower. This wealth has allowed them to systematically subjugate neighboring tribes, turning rivals into the labor force that maintains the city.

The Rising TideThe Iron TreatyThe first formal trade agreement was signed between the Torg tribe and Dragonshadow merchants.

The Age of MossThe Subjugation of the Blue FinsTorg warriors used metal-tipped spears to conquer the southern waterways for the first time.
