<p>What information do we really have on Guk itself? I know a little about the curse, I know it was a home to trolls and froglosk at different times...but can anyone tell me more of this place's story?</p>

Innoruuk decided to intervene with the Troll's society and over a lengthy period of time, caused a civil war to break out. The Trolls broke into tribes, but the biggest two were the Ykeshan clan, lead by Ykesha himself. They remained loyal to Cazic Thule, the Troll's true creator. The other was the Broken Skull Clan, who split off to worship Innoruuk. Eventually, Ykesha was defeated, and the remnants who survived formed the city of Grobb. Guk itself would later be taken over by the Frogloks.</p><p>Rumor has it that the Trolls once held a fairly prosperous empire until Innoruuk intervened, but we don't know if Guk was the first city the Trolls built, or the largest city, or the capital of their empire, or if it was just a city-fortress.</p><p>I wish I could say I knew more about the fortress itself, but information is sparse, and in-game lore never really dove too far into anything related to the Trolls. I even asked Vhalen himself, and all he told me was "Guk was the City-Fortress of Ykesha. I doubt we've seen every nook and cranny of this sprawling underground citadel."</p>
