Argh Undt Argh

Argh Undt Argh (or Blood and War), can also be translated into War and Honor and several other translations, as the word Argh is less of a word and more of a feeling.   Northern Stronghold of the Orcish Empire
(formerly a Baltican Empire city)  

Overview:

  Argh Undt Argh is the symbolic northern horn of the Orcish Empire, a city taken by siege during the mainland–dragonborn war. Its original Baltican foundations remain partially visible beneath layers of orcish reinvention. Stone walls have been gutted and replaced with fortified timber scaffolds, wind-leathered banners, and great communal fire pits that serve as town squares.  

Government & Politics:

  While the Empress rules from Umban Thak, Argh Undt Argh serves as a council bastion. A loose assembly of house heads resides here, particularly those from more northern clans. These patriarchs and matriarchs often issue challenges to imperial edicts in grand duelling arenas before crowds of thousands.
Duelling here is ritualized but public. The Hall of the Karth’pa, a long timber structure at the city’s heart, holds records of every sanctioned duel and blood feud, marked in ochre and ash.  

Trade & Exports:

  Monstrosity hide leather from the surrounding forests dwelling beasts   Ironbark timber used in Chi’Lu forging   Preserved Aridell game   Chi’Lu bladecrafters renowned throughout the empire  

Cultural Features & Landmarks:

  The Split Moon Arena: Where high-stakes political duels are held. The sand is stained with centuries of blood, and no voice is louder in Argh Undt Argh than its spectators.   The Boneflame Hearth: A vast communal bonfire fed with the bones of defeated duelists. Keeping it burning is an honor passed down through warrior bloodlines.   The Black Antler Market: Known for its hunting gear, smoked meats, and bartered animal spirits.
