Why not Reg's Dreugh Wax?
Greg and Dreg rhyme, while Reg rhymes with Dredge (Reg or Reggie is usually short for Reginald)- Tybalt Kaine Khajiit Nightblade Aldmeri Dominion
- PC/NA
- Guildmaster- Lucky Raven
- Knight of Marrow - Blackfeather Academy
- Adepti- The Witches Goblet

✭✭✭✭✭I pronounce it "dredge" wax" because it amuses me to do so.Legends never die
They're written down in eternity
But you'll never see the price it costs
The scars collected all their lives
When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
Legends never die0 -

I posted a link in my OP. There is approximately 25x the NPCs say "Dreugh."
Here is another link.

I think your brain may be correct, just nobody told the voice actors.0 -

✭✭✭Characters pronounce it "dreg," so I must assume that's what is intended.
However, I pronounce it more like "drey-ugh."1 -

That's irrelevant. Dreugh is not an English word. Or a word from any language. It's a fictional word in a fictional world, and the correct pronunciation in such a case is what the creators of this world intended. And it's clear from the dialog from a wide assortment of NPCs that the canonical pronunciation is "dreg".But quite honestly, english pronounciation is a mess.
As a fictional word for which the creators have given us clear and consistent examples of the intended pronunciation, there is only one correct answer and zero room for debate on this topic. It's "dreg". The end.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU
