Kingdoms of Men - Ogre Captains are recruited into human armies to keep the bands of mercenary ogres in check. It has happened, however, that the most ambitious Ogre Captains have assembled entire armies of Ogres and led them into the fi eld to fulfi l their own dreams of conquest.

Ogres - Not all Ogres return home. Sadly, there are fatalities. Some Ogres never feel the mating urge and remain in the south all their days (the Basileans have perfected a means of ensuring this). Others return home, but once their children are sired they yearn for war and plunder, taking up their swords again.

Ogre captains are the mightiest of these war-loving veterans. They alone of the Ogres venture from the south to the north and back over and over, attending the great Things every few years to entice a new generation of Ogre braves into a life of warfare in exotic lands. Captains are usually bigger and stronger than other Ogres and all are expert fighters.

A rare few display a gift for tactics and strategy, and rise to high rank in the militaries of other nations. For these expatriate Ogres, the ways of the southern peoples are too fascinating or just too comfortable to abandon. For other Ogres, these Captains hold a strange mix of fascination and repulsion – that they are mighty and rich is beyond doubt, but what right-minded Ogre would exchange a comfortably draughty cave for silk bedsheets in a room with a door?
