Yarog—the forest region of the Grovns
World of Vorto

Yarog

A forest region of the Grovns. A harsh land by the Merk River and the Grovn Lake, where Rodia's rule lies over a more ancient memory.

Quick Reference

Yarog is a forest region of the Grovns in the world of Vorto. Its capital, the city of Yarog, stands by the Merk River and the Grovn Lake, where the Grovns first began to settle. This is a harsh land where Rodia's rule lies over a more ancient Grovn memory: the locals still await the return of their god — the Black Bear.

After the Liberation War, the city and the region around it became part of Rodia: it was in Yarog that Rafael fought Namibius again and drove him out of Vorto. Despite this, Yarog always remained a restless place.
