Ologs
Fierce-some
creatures, whose ancestry is lost to the most ancient of days, it is
known that the differing races of Ologs occasionally retain the strangest
of powers from the days of the Race Wars. Corrupted beyond all measure
of their beginnings, no one can know what these creatures were in the
beginning. Yet whatever form that might have once walked the earth in,
they would have been terrible to behold.
Some legends tell of a fabled city that once held the most beautiful of all the races, and that those who dwelt there lived for aeons in peace and harmony. Yet, eventually these creatures became so captivated by their own appearances, that they corrupted themselves. Tales such as these have been attributed to the origins of other elder races, such as the Fey or the Elves. Yet they could so easily have applied to Ologs.
The most common of Olog races are Trolls and Ogres. These creatures are incredibly dangerous, and tend to be of varying intelligence. In general, Ogres are the most knowledgeable of their kind, and are some are even known to practice magic. Trolls tend to be the simpler species. However, they are blessed with powers of regeneration, which are legendary to behold.
Much like the Uruck races, Ologs tend to be clannish in structure. Yet they are more solitary by nature, and prefer their own company. Ologs tend to mate for life, and live long lives, often longer than Elves. Yet, their breeds are so varied, that no precise life span can be applied to them. Ogres tend to take a great deal of pride in their breeding, and they are known to defer to the eldest whenever meeting in a group.
Ogres and Trolls are known to live all over the known world of Erdreja. Sand Trolls have been encountered in the depths of the southern desert, whilst highly intelligent Ogres live in the further east in the kingdoms of Cathay and Nippon.
The best known Ogres in the Heartlands are the entrepreneur brothers Orcus and Spittle. Masters of the Heartland Games, these two have lived for many centuries, having lost their way when attempting to return to the Heartlands back in 498.
Playing an Olog
Ologs as stated are the larger creatures of the fantasy world. Ogres and
trolls are the main stay of this race. Anyone wanting to play an Olog
can do so. Although you do not get any bonuses or abilities for this choice
it is just a good chance to expand a character and try your hand at a
major costume project. The accepted norm for Olog costumes is full body
kits and masks including padding to increase your overall size you don't
need to go this far if you do not want to but the Lorien Trust System
has lots of established Olog players who have done so for there characters.
Please note choosing an Olog character does not gain you any abilities or bonuses and Trolls do not get regenerate as player characters automaticly.
Ologs life span is similar if not greater than Elves at times spaning some 600-800 years if allowed to prosper. We would advise anyone playing an Olog to use an age similar to there own or in the first 100 years. Making you teens of the Olog world.
