Arenas

The Ogkan, famous for their survival of the fittest, are known for their love of displays of feats in the arena. Often this is in the form of wrestling, gladiatorial combat between willing participants and, drinking competitions. But it is not uncommon for competitions of culture to also be on display, with recorded competitions of ritualistic worship of Örgyár being known to have taken place, displays of their control over magic, or cooking great feasts and, even folkish dancing competitions.

The Arena of a Ogkan town is typically directly in the centre, with four major roads all leading towards it, showcasing the importance is holds in the culture of the Ogkan.

Clan Creation

Given the proclavity of Ogkan clans to be exterminated by other Dédnagy, the creation of a clan is an important aspect of Ogkan culture. Ogkan clans, by nature are nomadic peoples, with the cities of the Ogkan places where clans go to exchange goods, genes and, worship their God. Within these cities, it is where new clans are founded. Those who have been expelled from their clans, survived extermination by others, or returned to their homeland from abroad.

Typically, but not always, a solo Ogkan that performes well in the arena can find themselves with a following of people, from which they can form a clan. Importantly, not all members of these new clans are solo Ogkan themselves, as they can leave their former clan to follow a new leader if they believe them to be stronger. Other less common ways, are traders who gather a following by using their wealth, although their rule tends to be short lived as they are quickly challenged for their position and wealth. Therefore, traders when they find themselves with followers tend to disappear under the cover of night to the next city to sell their wares. And particularly popular women, for whom men crowd around hoping to breed with them, although this is exceedingly rare, requiring the women to be particulary strong as well as attractive; women for the most part are second class citizens in Ogkan culture.
