Sogolon

Sogolon
The "City of Beasts", Sogolon is perhaps the most famous Ekukan city to the outside world. Whilst still very much inside of the vast Oxylo Jungle, it is nonetheless much closer to the border with Tol than the likes of the Sload city.

Best described as a series of towns and villages stretched across a rather large expanse of the jungle, these settlements are interconnected by an intricate webway of bridge-paths, as the city-complex exists in 3 dimensions; with villages built right onto the largest trees at all different levels from the floor to the canopy.

History
The city traces its origins to the retreating Onca Atroxi; having many times founded settlements beyond the jungle, only for it to have reached their border within a generation, the Onca made the decision to let the jungle engulf them. As the Oxylo advanced, the Onca continued to adjust and amend their buildings and defences, soon incorporating the invading trees into their structures, building as much up as out.

It wasn't long before other fleeing races arrived, taking refuge amongst these Atroxi, who benefited from the bolstered numbers to better defend from the likes of the Lizareen and other deep jungle nemeses.

These arriving groups built their own villages in the vicinity of the main Onca settlement, and over time these became ghettos of the wider city complex that expanded almost as naturally as it's forest host.

Inhabitants
Sogolon is home primarily to Onca Atroxi, the feline-humanoids of the Oxylo Jungle. But it earned it's moniker of the "City of Beasts" by also playing host to significant numbers of

Loxokhala (large elephane-humanoids), anw Aurox (medium-large bovine-humanois ).

The dangerous of the jungle forced much of the intelligent races of Ekuka to band together in ways they had not before.

Society
Despite it's multicultural society, governorship of the city rests exclusively with the triarchy of Onca monarchs; Loxokhala and Aurox are tolerated, but they are not granted a voice.
