==History== ===Age of Myth=== Given that Ogors don’t really write down their history (save for crude cave-man like glyphs and paintings), most of their past is shrouded in a haze of exaggeration and grandiose creation myths. For example, according to Firebellies, Aqshy was created by the fiery burp of Gorkamorka after he ate a massive star. Thankfully other races have kept track of their origins, which just so happens to include their encounters with the ogrish race. Ogors, much like the Greenskins, have always existed in the Mortal Realms, living in primitive tribal cultures. The oldest Ogors claim that they crawled out the rivers of drool made by Gorkamorka when he first began gnawing on the Realms. When Sigmar beat the snot out of Gorkamorka, he earned the green god’s loyalty and tasked him with slaying the various warped monsters and Godbeasts of the Realms (partially to keep him and his followers out of trouble). The Ogors, though miffed they couldn’t eat humie, stuntie, or knife-ear meat, gladly followed the Gulping God in his monstrous crusade. One such crusading target were the Sky Titans of Ghyran, a more intelligent breed of [[Sons of Behemat|gargants]] that colonized the Great Green Torc/Tor Crania (Behemat’s sleeping head). These colossal beings lived in floating gun fortresses above the Harmonis Veldt and were famed for their usage of black powder weaponry. Gorkamorka, still likely holding onto his rivalry with the giant Godbeast, tore into the forts of his spawn with ease, and the Ogors scavenged the rubble to create the first Ironblasters and Leadbelchers. Along their rampage, they came across the weedy [[Gnoblar|Gnoblars]] of Chamon who approached the Ogors with a deal; in exchange for protection from the bully like Orruks and Grots, the Gnoblars would serve the Ogors as a servant caste. The Ogors naturally agreed and soon colonies of Gnoblars were commonplace amongst the original Mawtribes. At some point, the original Beastclaw Raiders, who served as the vanguard huntsmen of Gorkamorka’s forces, did...something...and now the perpetual ice age that is the Everwinter follows them. One Mawtribe that gained particular notoriety was the Boulderhead, or Svard in their Beastclaw tongue. The Frost King Braggoth Vardruk was revered by many of Gorkamorka’s followers during the Age of Myth. He took his Alfrostun on a cross-country tour of the Realms on a search for the fabled Golden Hunting Grounds of Ghur, but he was tricked by Aelven sorcerers and ended up colliding straight into the Everwinter, where they were flash frozen for hundreds of years. ===Age of Chaos=== Following the collapse of Sigmar’s Pantheon, Ogors all across the Realms rejoiced at the chance to eat whatever they wanted again. The Mawtribes were quick to turn their rampant hunger on the abandoned humans, aelves, and duardin. Some Ogors even going as far as directly fighting under the banners of Chaos as mercenaries (these particular Ogors would go on to become known as Maneaters, and the name has since become synonymous with veteran Ogor mercenaries, even the ones who work for the “good guys”). Even then however, it wasn’t uncommon for an Ogor to turn on his employer should a deal be broken, such as the case with Chaos Lord Slathynex, who made the mistake of allowing his manticore to eat an Aelf. An Aelf he promised to Klugg the Flatulent of the Meatfist Mawtribe. Such a transgression was not to be taken lightly, and the Ogors consumed every last Chaos Warrior present. ===Age of Sigmar=== The arrival of the Stormcast Eternals instantly affected the Ogor Mawtribes by accidentally thawing out many frozen BCR tribes, including Braggoth and company. The starved Raiders quickly fell upon their bewildered “saviors”, only to discover that these beings couldn’t be eaten. So they instead bolted and reunited with the rest of the Boulderhead Mawtribe, which had been taken over by some upstart Overtyrant in their absence. Braggoth was quick to overthrow the usurper and declare himself Frost King. He would later go on to wage war against the Meatfist Mawtribe and their allies, culminating in the Battle of Ice and Gold in front of the gates to Globb Glittermaw’s Great Gutfort. It was a hard fought victory, but the Gutbusters managed to push back the ambitious Frost King, who severed all ties the Boulderheads had with the other Mawtribes, determined to rule them all. As the Age began, the Ogors remained largely unchanged. They sold themselves out as mercenaries to who ever had the meat and money, only now they had more customers thanks to the opening of Azyr’s gates. The various Mawtribes all develop unique relationships with the Sigmarines, such as the Meatfist actively avoid confrontation with the Eternals, or the Thunderbellies, who have learned how to actually consume the fleeing souls of slain Stormcast. While many Ogors found plenty to do in the Realmgate Wars, many more followed the banner of Gordrakk’s Great Waaagh!, seeing the Fist of Gork as the ultimate source of food and fun. The onset of the Soul Wars and Nagash’s Necroquake is seen by the various Slaughtermasters and Butchers as “Gork’s Gutrumble”, a sign of great displeasure by their god that throws off eons old mawpaths and tears through hunting grounds. It even disrupted the Everwinter, making it stronger or causing it to up and fizzle out. The result is a variety of warglutts and alfrostuns mixing together as the weak are absorbed by the strong. The Butchers insist that the Ogors must devote themselves to consuming the entire Mortal Realms in order to reverse these dark times, spurring them into greater acts of consumption and devastation. ====Broken Realms==== Several Mawtribes and Alfrostuns have flocked together to follow the Fist of Gork Gordrakk and his march on the free city Excelsis. The Loonking Skragrott was also apart of this destruction bandwagon and ordered a Warglutt of Ogors led by Tyrant Glottor Bhulk to move ahead of their main force to offer themselves as sellswords for the city defenders. Before the Big Waaagh arrived at the city, they ran into a reawakened and agitated [[Kragnos]] who unofficially took control over the horde. They all went nuts when they came to Excelsis and quickly set about destroying and looting everything. The aforementioned Ogor mercenaries turned on their employers as soon as Skragrott gave them a signal. The horde was eventually pushed out and scattered after Lord Kroak and Morathi-Khaine tricked Kragnos into running through a portal to the opposite end of Ghur. Glottor and his company made it out with copious quantities of loot and meat, loudly declaring that they won the Siege of Excelsis and eagerly wait for the day they can return to the City of Secrets and claim more of its riches. ====Era of the Beast==== Despite feeling invigorated by Kragnos’ emergence, the Ogor Mawtribes have faced tough resistance from the Dawnbringer Crusades that march from Sigmar’s cities. These grand expeditions tear up their Mawpaths and expand so rapidly that the Ogors can’t keep up with the cities being erected. Some have been hired by the Crusades to assist in the colonization efforts, but it’s actually a ruse to send the bulk of the tribe away from their Gutfort so they could tear it down. This initially sounds like a deceptively smart idea, but many a Dawnbringer has underestimated how strong a pissed off Ogor is…especially one that returns home to realize they’ve been hoodwinked.
