Ogre

The mighty Urol Empire has always been known for its people, the Ogres - giant warriors with a culture surrounding brawling and war. It is said that the Ogres have walked the land since the very beginning, ruling the Grukoor mountains with iron fists and savage brutality that can only be surpassed by the likes of the Dragonkin. Over the course of multiple millenia, the Ogres have built an empire on the foundation of strength, where only the toughest survive. That is not to say that the Ogres do not value wisdom, their culture often looks to the Elements that surround them, worshipping the earth that provides them with footing. Though it is always a Warlord that leads the Ogres, it is the Council of Seers that guides him or her in making the right decisions.

1000 years ago, when the war that led to the Great Fall occurred, the Ogres reveled in an opportunity to slaughter the Humans that tried to take their lands. Much of mankind fell in the battle to take Uroldros, the city of the Ogres, but King Yvain saw it necessary. Though their city was eventually taken and their Seers murdered by the King’s royal army, the Ogres remained vigilant and pulled back, their warriors sailing north-east to the Wildlands where the Wild Elves resided. Though they disliked working with any race upon this earth, the Ogres saw it necessary, able to warn the Wild Elves of what is to come and giving them the chance to prepare the counteroffensive that led to the Luxford’s fall.

When King Yvain Gloryblood and his personal guard reached the shores of the Wildlands, they were led directly into a trap laid by the Ogres’ best hunters, surrounding the King and personally slaughtering him, the crown of the King taken by Warlord Grunok as a trophy.

After the war, the Ogres returned to their former homeland and began to rebuild, many Warlords ascending and falling in the past thousand years, either in battle against their enemy or in a challenge for leadership within their own empire.
