The Ugluk Clan

                                                                           ______________________________________________________________________________

 

 

  

  A corpse of its former self, The Ugluk Clan had once been one of the most prominent clans of

orcish warriors within the entirety of the Uzg. Having once been known as The Vanguard while the clan had been included within the Gorkil clan during Aegis. Their rage and strength were unmatched within the Orcish lands, their warcry being revered by most as a sign of death. Some of which who had survived an Ugluk attack believed they had been attacked by a gathering of Minotaur. Ugluks led the destruction of the High Elves in Asulon as well as Salvus during the same Era, and their clan had at one time during Asulon, been the largest of any of their brothers. The resurrection of this clan is upon us.

The Histories

                                                                            ______________________________________________________________________________

 

{An Ugluk Wargoth standing aside two of his Elders, readying for battle}

 

  The blood of the clan originates from the Third Son of Gorkil, Ugluk. Ugluk had been renowned for his ability to defeat hundreds of enemies in battle and is often regarded as one of the greatest warriors in orcish history. His children had unknowingly lived alongside the Gorkils for decades. Their forces had been stronger, larger, and tougher than that of the standard Gorkil grunts which had made the majority of Gorkil forces. Due to this, during the Clan Wars, these soldiers were dubbed the Vanguard. However, as the Clan Wars came to an end, most of those who had bore the blood of Ugluk had been killed, only a few surviving the onslaught of Dom’s forces.

 

  One of the survivors, a nob of the Krughai during Mogroka’Gorkil’s reign as Rex known as Pok’Gorkil, is given the gift of knowledge by his Rex and is given the opportunity to splinter from the Gorkil clan, thus finally forming The Ugluk Clan. By the time of Asulon, their clan had grown exponentially into the largest clan in the newly established War Uzg. As their numbers grew, the Wargoth met an orc who had brought many Orcs to their clan, the orc’s name was Mokrag’Braduk’Ugluk, and the two would quickly become blood brothers.

 

  Twice did Pok ascend to the rank of Rex and his fury had been relentless, destruction followed each movement he made with the Uzg during his first Rexdom, destroying tribute states and waging war against the High Elven city of Haelun’or. The second Rexdom was mostly uneventful compared to the First.

 

Decades later, The Elder Mokrag requested that the Elder’s own clan be recognized by Pok, Pok agreed and the Braduk clan was born. In Asulon, the two clans fought side by side one another during the civil war against Sharku’Gorkil and his incompetent Rexdom. Due to a no decided victor, a pact was made to end the warring. However, for whatever reason, the Braduks were left out of the agreement. This angered the clan to begin a war against the Ugluks, with skirmishes erupting here and there. However, upon the disappearance of Pok, the tides were changed in the Braduks’ favor. Most of the pure-blooded Ugluks had been wiped out at this time along with all of the great Ugluk Bulls. Upon Malog shattering the remaining Ugluks in the formation of the Yar clan, marking a time in which no living Ugluks were present. Later, Pok returns briefly to find his clan gone. In order to protect his bloodline, he mates with Keesha’Ugluk who gives birth to Ugkop’Ugluk. Shortly after the birth of his son, Drokon’Ugluk, Ugkop was felled by a group of Kahn’Braduk’s forces.

 

  The Ugluks were thought a dead clan until the great Ubba’Ugluk returned to bring the clan back into the view of the Uzg. Ubba succeeded and quickly brought himself into Rexdom, famously leading a party of orcs through a small tunnel during the defense of Dunamis, getting the drop in on Oren’s forces. Ultimately, during this battle, Ubba was felled by a poisoned arrow lending the title of Rex to his good friend, Snoop’Azog.

 

The Title of Wargoth had been given to Drokon short after Ubba ascended to Rexdom. However, Several years after Ubba’s death, Drokon disappears, leaving the only remaining Ugluk to watch as his clan rots away in the sands of time. Drokon returns only briefly to pass his title down to Moreg’Ugluk. Whether this action was due to Moreg’s valor in battle or due to him being the only Ugluk to inherit the title is up for debate. In Axios, many believed the clan to be extinct once again due to Moreg’s disappearance until he returned at the time of the Uzg’s greatest need. Several failed attempts at reviving the clan were cut short by Drokon's final appearance. When Drokon arrived and took the title of Rex from the False Rex, Kulgarok'Lak'Dom, he set forth a chain of events which would lead to the halting of the new 'War Nation's extinction and total revenge against the Orenians who had previously invaded the orcish homeland. However, several years into Drokon's reign, a sinister sickness rendered Drokon a tyrant in the eyes of his brothers and murdered many he once called 'friend'. It only took a few years for Drokon's sickness to be cured, but the wounds of this sickness fell deep. As soon as another orc ascended to Rexdom, Drokon unceremoniously gave his life to the beasts of the Mesa.

Trials

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Ugluk trials have always been a necessary obstacle for recruits of the clan since the clan’s conception in Aegis. To be accepted, one must complete all three of the trials. Although the clan originally had a Trial of Mind, a Trial of Strength, and a Trial of Fear, the trials are changed depending on  the circumstances and the Wargoth. However, the trials will always be difficult and taxing on recruits.

 

Bulls

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ugluk Bulls are massive bulls bred to be as large and powerful as possible, their size and strength rival that of even the Braduk's Rhinos. Though the bulls had once been put through genocide by the Braduks during their clan war against Ugluk, new bulls were bred by the combined efforts of Ubba and Drokon. These bulls were housed in the palace during Ubba's reign and were taken into Axios through the spirit realm. Due to the sparsity of these bulls, a calf is only given to those who exhibit extreme devotion to the clan. All members will be given the chance to prove themselves.

Scarring

~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Though the Ugluks had once used brands as a way of marking orcs into the clan, a new practice was adopted by the current wargoth as he had contemplated whether he truly was an Ugluk due to his lack of brand marks. He grew angry and chose to etch the bull’s mark onto his shoulder, believing himself to have earned the right to be known as Ugluk. This would quickly become the main way of marking an Ugluk’s achievements and triumphs.

 

 

The Sword is given to warriors who successfully led a battle against an enemy faction. Denotes strength and leadership. Usually found on Targoths and high ranking military leaders.

[PraiseTheLord 868]

"A bad history, a new start." Turkurz grumbled, seeking out the perfect alloy for his new sword. "Perhaps a better one."

[_pok_ 1768]

Somewhere; Drokon smiles upon hearing whispers of Moreg's renewed efforts to revive the clan. He had chosen Moreg for this task because he saw a sort of dedication in him which none of the other Ugluks possessed, for he stayed when others left. With what materials he could scavenge, he wrote a small note to the young Orc and sent it off with a courier - a rare trespass back into civilization for the Orc. 

"Moreg,

I wish you the best on your journey to restore the clan. Know that I may never aid you in your quest to restore the clan, for the sins of my bloodline will always taint the role of Wargoth. Instead, new blood like yourself must bring the clan back to greatness. Perhaps one day we may meet again. 

-- Drokon"
