Included is 'A History of Ogres' by Ogres. It covers the first ogres from creation, the ancient Ogre homeland, Shinalstin, Gruntz, giant ogres and the Dark Alliance. It is a sterling work for an Ogre, they ought to be proud of it. Iolius.

In the beginning, there were Three. Things happened. Things that are
not important.
And then Austinian said, "I will make little ones in my own image, and they
will be Beautiful." And so there were Elves.
Kwainin said, "I will make them in my own image, and they will be Free."
And so there were Humans.
Necrucifer said, "I will make them in my own image, and they will be
Strong." And so there were Ogres. And it was good.
Ogres lived in peace with Humans and Elves. There was much food for all.
Then one day an Ogre decided he wanted more food. He could not take food
from other Ogres because they were big and strong. So he took food from
Humans and Elves because they were small and weak. Other Ogres saw this and
they wanted more food too. Soon all Ogres were taking food from Humans and
Elves, and it was good.
Some Humans and Elves asked to have their food back. Ogres did not care.
Then some Humans and Elves tried to take their food back. Ogres were too
strong. Then some Humans and Elves tried to hurt Ogres, but Ogres liked it.
So Ogres learned from Humans and Elves how to hurt and smash, and many
Humans and Elves died, and it was good.
Some Humans and Elves ran away from Ogres. Some Ogres thought it was a game
and chased them, but then got hungry and came back. So most Humans and
Elves had gone or were dead, and Ogres made many more Ogres. Soon there
were too many Ogres, and some Ogres left to find new food. And there were
Ogres in many places.
Then the Gods got angry. They were probably not angry at Ogres, because
Ogres were big and strong, which is good. And then the Fall from Grace
happened. There was less food, but still many Ogres. And also new small,
weak things, like Minotaurs. Minotaurs showed up near Ogres. Ogres tried
to eat them but they were not good for eating.
One smart Ogre saw that Minotaurs were scared of fire. So the smart Ogre
made some fire and scared the Minotaurs and made them find food for Ogres.
Other Ogres learned how to do this, and soon all Minotaurs were finding food
for Ogres, and it was good. Ogres had more time for eating and sleeping and
bashing. Ogres forgot about Humans and Elves and other small and weak
things.
Then one day a bad Elf named Spellath who was also small and weak showed up
near the Minotaurs. Ogres tried to take his food and smash him, but they
could not, because of Magic, which Ogres did not know. Then Spellath showed
Minotaurs Magic, and it was bad. Minotaurs used Magic to scare Ogres and
escape. Ogres tried to smash them, but they could not. One or two
Minotaurs were caught, but not smashed, because a very smart Ogre wanted to
know Magic from them. His name was Bahsh.
Bahsh learned some Magic but not much, because the caught Minotaurs used
Magic to smash themselves to death. But Bahsh was smart and learned some
Magic and became smarter, and it was good. He tried to teach his small
Magic to Ogres but most Ogres did not care. But a few Ogres did learn from
Bahsh. And Bahsh said, "We are Ogres with Magic, and we call ourselves
Frostbeard." And it was good.
With no Minotaurs to find food for them, Ogres had to find their own food,
and so there was less time for eating and sleeping and bashing. Ogres went
all over to find food, and many small and weak things were upset, but Ogres
did not care. Sometimes Ogres smashed them, sometimes Ogres ate them. And
it was good. Unless the small and weak things had Magic.

There were Ogres in all places, and it was good. Then one day a smart
Ogre thought that there should be many Ogres in the same place. And so some
Ogres made Gruntz city, and it was good. Soon some small and weak blue
things came to Gruntz city, and Ogres ate them. Then more small and weak
blue things came to Gruntz city, but Ogres could not eat them, because of
Magic.
The small and weak blue things said, "We are from Shinalstin, and we have
come to the capital of the Ogre Empire as diplomats." But Ogres did not
know about capitals or Empires or diplomats. So the small and weak blue
things explained that Gruntz city was a capital, and that all places where
there were Ogres (which was most places) was an Empire, and that diplomats
talk about stuff.
Then Ogres were happy that they had a very big Empire and a capital, and it
was good. The small and weak blue things said, "Shinalstin offers you our
finest livestock as a gesture of peace." Ogres ate the livestock, and it
was good. Ogres did not know about gestures or peace, but the small and
weak blue things were happy, and so they left Gruntz city. Some Ogres
thought it was a game, so they followed them to their home, which was not
very far away.
Then the small and weak blue things went into their city and closed their
gates so the Ogres who followed them could not come in. Then the Ogres were
tired from all the following and slept. The next day, the Ogres found much
food, and it was good. So the Ogres decided to stay. Then some other small
and weak blue things came out of the gates, and they said, "Please leave our
lands." But Ogres did not listen.
The small and weak blue things attacked Ogres, but Ogres smashed them. Then
some small and weak humans came out of the gates, and they said, "We are
from the Conclave, and we will defend Shinalstin. You must leave at once."
But Ogres did not know about Conclave, so they did not listen. Then the
small and weak humans used Magic to hurt Ogres, and Ogres could not smash
them. And so the Ogres left.
The Ogres came back to Gruntz city and told some other Ogres about all the
food in Shinalstin, and also about the Magic. Some brave Ogres decided to
go back for the food, and they did. Conclave people came again and used
Magic, but this time there were more Ogres, and some Conclave people were
smashed. But there was too much Magic still, and the Ogres left again.
The brave Ogres came back and convinced all Ogres in Gruntz city that there
was more food in Shinalstin than in Gruntz city. And so all Ogres in Gruntz
city went to Shinalstin for food, and it was good. Conclave people came and
used Magic, but there were too many Ogres, and the Conclave people were
smashed. Then many small and weak blue things came, and they were smashed
too.
Soon a smart Ogre thought that there might be more food in the gates, so the
Ogres smashed the gates. Many small and weak blue things screamed and ran
all over, but Ogres thought it was a game, so they chased them. Some small
and weak blue things and Conclave people went into a very big building and
closed the doors so Ogres could not come in. Ogres tried to smash the
doors, but they could not, because of Magic. But Ogres had found much food
in Shinalstin, and it was good.
Ogres stayed in Shinalstin for a while. Then one day all three moons were
very high in the sky and Conclave people came out of their building and
attacked Ogres with Magic, and it was bad. Many Conclave people were
smashed, and many Ogres were smashed with Magic also. But there were still
many more Ogres than Conclave people. Then one Conclave person stood on top
of the very big building and said, "I call upon the power of all three moons
on this sacred night! These Ogres are defined by their slow minds! Make
them even slower! Abra Cadabra!" And there was a great flash.
After the flash, Ogres looked around. Some Ogres were even bigger than
before. Other Ogres tried to ask the new Giant Ogres what happened, but the
bigger ones just grunted and looked dumb. Then there was much thunder and
lightning around Shinalstin, and all Ogres, big and bigger, decided to leave
and go back to Gruntz city.

Ogres did not know what to do with Giant Ogres. Ogres used to be biggest
and strongest, but now Giant Ogres were bigger and stronger. This upset
Ogres very much. But some Ogres were smart, and they knew that Ogres were
big and strong and smart, but Giant Ogres were big and strong and stupid.
And Giant Ogres could not learn Magic, even when the Frostbeard Ogres tried
to teach them. So the smart Ogres had a plan.
The Ogres took some of their food and threw it into the caves near Gruntz
city. They told the Giant Ogres that there was food in the caves. The
Giant Ogres went into the caves and found the food, and it was good. To
keep the Giant Ogres in the caves, some Ogres would sometimes throw food in
there. Some Giant Ogres got bored with the caves and wanted to come out,
but the Ogres did not let them, and there were many more Ogres than Giant
Ogres. So the Giant Ogres stayed in the caves, and it was good.
Then one day big dogs who walked on two legs came. Ogres tried to eat them,
but they were not good for eating. They called themselves Yinn, and they
attacked Ogres. At first, Ogres thought it was a game, and it was good.
But soon there were many more Yinn than Ogres, and it was bad. Ogres were
big and strong, but one Ogre could only kill two Yinn and not three. And
there were three Yinn for every one Ogre. And some Yinn had Magic. And so
the Ogres lost much land to the Yinn, and it was bad.
Soon the Yinn came to Gruntz city, and there was much smashing. Ogres
smashed many Yinn, but more Yinn kept coming. And many more Ogres died. It
seemed like Ogres would soon all be dead, but then some smart Ogres
remembered the Giant Ogres in the caves. So the smart Ogres went to the
caves and told the Giant Ogres that there was food in Gruntz city, and that
dogs who walked on two legs were taking it away. And the Giant Ogres all
ran out of the caves and to Gruntz city, and it was good.
Giant Ogres were big and strong, and they were very good at smashing the
Yinn, who were small and weak. The Yinn were surprised that there were even
bigger kinds of Ogres, and many Yinn died, even some Yinn with Magic. One
Giant Ogre named Draynos smashed hundreds of Yinn, and other Giant Ogres
watched how he smashed, and then they smashed like he did. Soon Yinn ran
away from Gruntz city, and Ogres and Giant Ogres chased them, and it was
good.
Ogres and Giant Ogres got back much land. And then the Yinn were gone from
Ogre lands, and it was good. Some Ogres told Giant Ogres to go back to
caves, but many Giant Ogres did not listen. They did not like the caves,
and some Giant Ogres thought about smashing Ogres instead. But Draynos
stopped them, and Ogres were glad.
Then Draynos said, "We are the bravest Giant Ogres, and we call ourselves
Grog'mar." And so Ogres agreed to let Giant Ogres to live in Gruntz city
with them. And it was good.

One day a great demon came to Gruntz city, and Ogres did not eat him.
The demon said, "I am a servant of Necrucifer the Ogre-Father. He is angry
with you Ogres. Why do you not honor Him?" Ogres did not know what this
meant, and they were afraid. But then the demon showed some smart ogres how
to honor Necrucifer. Then those smart ogres said, "We are the Ogres who
honor Necrucifer the Ogre-Father, and we call ourselves Oze." And other
Ogres agreed to put them in charge, and it was good.
And then the demon said, "You Ogres will form an alliance with Minotaurs and
with the knights of Eclipse. Together, you will bring destruction to
Algoron and conquer it for the Ogre-Father." Ogres remembered Minotaurs.
But Ogres did not know about alliances or Eclipse. So the demon summoned a
knight of Eclipse with Magic for Ogres to see, and then made the knight
disappear. And the demon said, "You Ogres will smash all things, but not
Minotaurs or knights of Eclipse." And so Ogres readied for war.
Soon knights of Eclipse came to Gruntz city, and Ogres did not eat them.
The knights asked Ogres to help them attack Conclave again, and Ogres
remembered where Conclave was. But Ogres also remembered Conclave Magic,
and some Ogres did not want to go there. Then the knights showed Ogres
their own Magic, and some Ogres changed their minds. So all Ogres gathered
and headed for Conclave, ready to smash. Also some small and weak Minotaurs
were there.
Ogres and Minotaurs and Eclipse, but mostly Ogres, broke through the
Conclave place and smashed many Conclave people, and it was good. Then
knights of Eclipse took some Magic thing they called Draconus and ran away.
Ogres thought it was a game, so they ran and followed the knights to their
castle. And so Ogres saw the knights use strange Magic on the Draconus
thing, and soon many dragons came, and Ogres were afraid.
But the dragons did not eat Ogres, and it was good. And so dragons helped
Ogres and Minotaurs and Eclipse smash many enemies in many places. Ogres
were all over the world again, and there was much food. Then metal dragons
came, and it was bad. Metal dragons and Conclave people, and small and weak
things called Knighthood and Malice which Ogres did not know, attacked Ogres
and Minotaurs and Eclipse and not-metal dragons. There was much smashing
for many days in many places.
Then some Conclave people used Magic to catch some Eclipse knights, and they
took the Draconus thing. Ogres did not care. But then not-metal dragons
attacked Eclipse and some Ogres too, and it was bad. Ogres tried to smash,
but there was much Magic and many dragons, and many Ogres were smashed
instead. And so the rest of the Ogres ran away back to Gruntz city.
The great demon came back to Gruntz city. And he said, "You Ogres have
failed, and Necrucifer is displeased." Ogres were confused and said, "But
we are big and strong, which is good." The demon shook his head and
grumbled, probably because he knew Ogres are usually right. Then he said,
"Continue to be big and strong. When the time is right, you will be called
again to help conquer the world for Necrucifer the Ogre-Father. Be ready
for that." Ogres agreed. Then the demon left, and Ogres went back to
eating and sleeping and smashing.
And so Ogres stayed in and near Gruntz city. There were clans like Oze and
Frostbeard and Grog'mar and others, and the Ogres in them were proud. Ogres
who were not in clans were called Nobody or Tuskless. And there was much
food for all Ogres, and it was good.

join one of its Clans. Here is a list of many of the Ogredom Clans and who
they are for.
Grog'mar - Proud warlike Giant Ogres and the oldest Giant Ogre Clan, often
military leaders throughout Ogre history. For Giant Ogres who worship
Mencius Ogre-Son and Raije.
Frostbeard - Ogres who have learned Magic and keepers of Ogre lore. Very
disdainful of non-Ogres and half-Ogres. For normal Ogres who focus on
Magic.
Oze - Normal Ogres who keep the Ogredom's faith in Necrucifer Ogre-Father.
Former royal line of Gruntz. Not open to more members right now.
Bonebreaker - Some of the mightiest Ogres, the first ones into battle. They
use strength and combat to get their way. For Ogres and Giant Ogres who
love battle.
Xulu - Half-Ogres who share the goal of gaining respect from other Ogres.
Not as big as Ogres or Giant Ogres, but dedicated to being soldiers to bring
inner strength. For evil and neutral Half-Ogre soldier types.
Beasteater - Big game hunter Ogres, often nomadic, usually on a quest for
their next trophy, like a dragon's head. Good scouts and survivalists. For

can also be clever. Even other Ogres are wary of them. For evil Ogres,
Giant Ogres, and Half-Ogres.
Speak to Ogrelords Vorxuq or Feyrbrand about joining one of the great
Ogredom Clans. Much of the Ogredom's work happens at the Clan level.
