Ever since my cruel enslavement in the mines of the
so-called “black ogrun” I have wondered how any
species related to them could be so trusted by the
dwarves of Rhul. It also puzzled me that there
are ogrun in the service of Lord Toruk,
dragon tyrant of Cryx; it is hard to
imagine two more dissimilar
cultures. This was a mystery I
felt driven to solve.
There are several ogrun
towns in Rhul with well-traveled
roads connecting to the dwarven
cities and outposts. The ogrun
are not as skilled in stonework
as their neighbors, but in some
cases have bartered for construction
contracts. To my eyes their
homes are well-built, each extended
family sharing a single sizeable keep.
They settle in groups of multiple
families, called conclaves, with towns
numbering a thousand ogrun at most.
Patrol duties are divided up among the
various korune (a word which translates
loosely as “lord” in the Molgur-Og dialect they speak), which
preside over the warriors of the community. Becoming a korune
is purely a matter of fighting prowess and having earned the loyalty
of other ogrun. Once even a single ogrun has sworn fealty
to another, that ogrun becomes a korune.
Fights between warriors loyal to different korune are com-

mon and arguably more frequent than bloodshed with outsiders.
These fights can be deadly and lack the strict rules governing
feuds between dwarven clans. Those korune who amass too
many warriors under their leadership are often set upon by lesser
rivals, keeping any one leader from gaining too much power.
Ogrun are not yet as common in human society as they are
in the dwarven kingdom; they are a far rarer sight than trollkin
or gobbers, but have gained acceptance in certain communities.
Ogrun make excellent laborers due to their size and strength, but
also face prejudices by those who view them as primitive and
dangerous. They are more likely to be found in Khador
and Cygnar than the other kingdoms, generally
settling in mountain communities.
Recognizing an ogrun is quite
easy, as they look like no other
civilized species, standing at
least 8 feet in height, sometimes
9, with long arms,
strong hands, and muscular
bodies always ready for a
fight. Ogrun live reasonably
long life-spans, almost as
long as humans on average,
with most living at least to their mid 70s and some rare
few as long as 90 years.
Most ogrun worship the same primitive mother-goddess
as many trollkin and gobbers—an entity named Dhunia—and
believe their souls are reborn when they die. The ogrun have
taken the concept of reincarnation to another level; they believe
honor (or lack thereof) in one life influences the next, and their
