Tog Zaloza

Tog, son of Zaloza the Younger, was a nobleman at the court of King Alvin Nilbus. He was legendary at the time for defending the country from nomadic invaders, meeting Xavat the Terrible on the field of battle in the First War of the Desert. Returning to Regna Maxima, Tog began a romance with Leah, the Virgin Mother of Clearwater. The two became involved in a scandalous union, frowned upon by the Goddesses of the Westerlands and the nobles of Regna alike. Tog and Leah were cursed with a foul and demonic beast for a child, terrible to gaze upon and dangerous to know. Leah, disgraced, returned to her temple and took her life. Tog went to the tritree woods in the east. Here he let loose the lupine child into the forest, close enough that he could keep watch. The beast was known as Fanglut, and Tog left his second in command, Honik, to tend it. Tog restored honor to his name, uniting the feral easterners with the citizens of Nilbus, and took a wife Martha and had a son Martin. The forest became known as the Togwood and Tog established a council to govern it. He was well-loved by the people. He died suddenly in the center of the wood and was buried there, where sprouted the greatest tritree. The city of Great Tog grew around it, and it became the capital of the Togwood.
