After the massacre of his tribe and his abduction by slave merchants, Morogg managed to escape from them with a handful of captive orcs. Then began their escape to the well-known mortal marshes. Arrested to the east of Birkania by slave merchants, Morogg and dozens of orcs were led into Ourann. With a cell companion, he took advantage of the narrow mountain laces that the convoy borrowed to cause the fall of his van. Survivors had to cross marshes that were said to be inhabited by a legendary creature. They had no choice but to sink into it.
