===The Everwinter=== While this blizzard does reduce everything around it to a whiteout, it oddly enough doesn’t kill the BCR. Instead it just freezes them in place until they thaw out either through time, plentiful fire magic or any number of other heat sources. This colossal ice storm takes various forms based on the Ogors it’s following, from fist sized hailstones, a snow white mist, a roaring hurricane, and much more. Little information exists on what exactly the Everwinter is. Though several ideas exist among Ogors regarding its origins. *The original Beastclaw Raiders somehow pissed off Gorkamorka who creates the Everwinter as a punishment, forcing the always hungry Ogors to constantly move hunting grounds or become frozen statues. *Sigmar conjured the storm to curse the Beastclaw Raiders and deny them food. *The OG Beastclaw Raiders unwittingly freed some mischievous ice gods that Nagash imprisoned in Shyish. *The first Frost King, Baergut Vosjarl, was tricked by Mork into eating the frozen heart of a god beast called Jorhar the Ur-Bear, becoming the eye of the perpetual storm. *The Curse of Black Winter was sweeping through the realm of life Ghyran, freezing everything in its wake. To prevent this curse from taking more of ''their'' food, an early Mawtribe of Ogors ate the very ground that the Curse took root in, and unwittingly became cursed themselves with the Black Winter’s rage. Supposedly in gratitude for this service, [[Alarielle]] granted these Ogors an affinity with beasts of the mountain and tundra so they can stay a step ahead of their curse. As time went on, the BCR began to revere and worship the Everwinter as an aspect of Gorkamorka, who is known as the “Hungering Predator” in the eyes of these Ogors. They regularly leave live prey and prisoners chained to the ground to be swallowed up by ice and snow, as well as the corpses of their dead brothers, saying they belong to the storm. Additionally, the BCR refuse to eat their dead for similar reasons, making them the only Ogors who actually don’t support cannibalism. In addition more than a few Ogors have even made use of the storm as a weapon and deterrent against their enemies. Such as intentionally leading the storm into potential raiding targets to soften them up, or using the extreme weather conditions to ward off attacking armies. Not to mention the honing of ice related magics has been heavily utilzed by experience Huskards to freeze whole lands and armies. More than just the Ogors follow the Everwinter though, many arctic monsters and beasts will see the moving ice age and decide just to follow it to new hunting grounds. Such as the Frost sabres and Mournfangs (beasts often utilized by the Beastclaw). Two noteworthy examples of this would be the Icefall Yhetees, large furred covered beasts that can wield ice magics whom have developed a close relationship with the Huskard Torrs, and the [[Bonesplitterz|Orruks]] of the Icebone Warclan, who thrive in frigid temperatures while also making heavy use of mounts, they have come to see the frost covered Ogors as blessed prophets of their equally icy depiction of Gorkamorka. Following the Necroquake, the Everwinter has been fluctuating in its size and intensity amongst the BCR. Sometimes it completely vanished, leaving the Raiders godless and little to no different than the Gutbusters. And other times it increases to continent sized blizzards, swallowing entire empires in supernatural snow. The former of the two is also a likely explanation for why BCR units would turn up in Gutbuster armies, as without the storm they have little reason to constantly be on the move and are more vulnerable without the storm keeping adversaries at bay, with many being absorbed into larger warglutts.
