Zoktopo

Zoktopo was a male Orc who served as the 22nd Tulkon. He was born in 1623 AT in Volcan, Orcanth.

War broke out between the orc nations of Orcanth and Gogeget when Zoktopo was a child, so he was taken to Keghotogh for safety where he would train for the next few years. By the war’s end, Gogeget had become fully reconquered by Orcanth. Years later, Zoktopo, now an adult, realized that the government of Orcanth had become oppressive and had far too much power. He started a revolution from Keghotogh. In three years, Zoktopo led the orc rebellion to victory, confining Orcanth to the continent of Penazaduz and founding the nation of Frig-Reda in 1647, as well as allowing Gogeget to become independent once again. He served the government in an unofficial capacity. He was injured in battle and swore off combat, settling down in Redakhokh and becoming a spiritual leader. His advice was largely ignored by the Frig-Reda government, which led to the Reunification Crisis, where Frig-Reda became rather corrupt. Zoktopo was labelled an enemy of the state in 1649 and was forced to flee the country, becoming a refugee.

Zoktopo became known for his travels across Ditarre, where he was a revered figure. He was granted citizenship in Nokina IHS. In Nokina, he married a human, Scara, and the couple became known for their advocacy of Frig-Reda refugees and expatriates, many of whom settled. He died due to complications of his old war injury in Nokina in 1707 AT and was succeeded by the Elf O'Raenore. He is best remembered for his dismantling of Orcanth's 2,000-year-old empire, which would eventually allow the Orc countries to become politically and culturally independent. His vision of the fall of Frig-Reda would come to fruition in 1712 AT.
