About

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 warlords 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.

Warlords 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 warlords 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?

Ogres are natural hoarders. Their bellicose and mercenary tendencies help satisfy their need to collect trophies and plunder. Of course, the biggest and most aggressive ogres tend to claim the best loot and love to boast of their prizes.

Such bragging can goad those less fortunate into jealous anger. More often, wily ogre warlords have exploited the trait and nominate trusted sergeants to take responsibility for the best of the band’s collective treasures, displaying them as an often grizzly, eclectic mix of items, proudly displayed in times of war to rally the troops and make them yearn for more.
