Landmarks

Notable landmarks in Uzgukhar include the palace, a large cattle market, the plaza of freedom, and the hall of the ancestors.

The palace, located near the center of the city and set on a small hill, has an elaborate public roof garden, with the throne room and apartments underground to provide relief from the heat.

The hall of ancestors is a large, imposing structure made of sandstone, adorned with intricate carvings depicting both the ancient legends of the origin of the People of the Rainbow, and the founding of Xurkhaz under the leadership of Uzgash.

Outside the hall of ancestors is the Plaza of Freedom, the central public square of Uzgukhar. The plaza of freedom celebrates the refugees who kept the dream of the People of the Rainbow alive during the dark years when the Cloak of Rainbows was lost, and also includes a monument to all orcs that still suffer under Thark’s chains.
