Our Ogres Are Hungrier: Difference between revisions

** Ogres in ''Al-Qadim'' mostly are peaceful and productive members of Enlightened society like most other creatures. Ogres are clannish, some more brutish than others, and some more fashionable; they take variety of occupations, up to and including an occasional barber, though most prefer to exploit their advantages as porters or warriors. The Caliph's palace guard is made up entirely of ogres. However, savage ogre tribes are very common in the wild southern islands. There are also ogre magi (whom common ogres dislike) and related ogre giants with elephant ears and often cyclopean single eye - mostly savage and brutish, but some joined the Enlightened society or even became missionaries to their own kind.

Being a people who hold [[The Fettered|loyalty and service]] as the highest ideal, [[My Master, Right or Wrong|their sworn lord's alignment]] probably shapes much of their own behaviour.
