Weekly Lore 14 - Old King Huruk

The horned Ogres of Tinechi are an interesting people. A tribal folk, their clans have cultures unique to their land. The clan Seneschals all report to one person: the King. Though this ruler has no hard say in each clans laws, they vary greatly, he does provide direction for the country as a whole. Old King Huruk Kiragikhan rules from their iron capital of Tinechi City.

Some say Huruk has lived far past the natural age of an Ogre: claims say he is 173 and the average Ogre lifespan is 150 (a trait my people share with theirs). He is a secretive but wise being, valuing both brain and brawn. His brood is expansive, as he has many children. A prominent son of his was originally sent as a ward to King Jargos in Delrin; he now acts as a personal guard to the man.

I find myself at odds with Huruk. Though many of our ideals do align, the Ogre King refuses to mend old relationships broken in the past. They’ve hidden behind their mountains for far too long. Huruk, to this day, will not partake in the High Court. Seeing as the High Court is what keeps politics (mostly) clean on Cyrdoma, it’s strange to see a race not be a part of it.

It’s for the best to help each other, no?
