The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Imperial Ogre
Ogres are a large, powerfully built species of
humanoids. Known for their brutality and
insatiable appetite, most of them hail from
the Ogre Kingdoms, beyond the Worlds Edge
Mountains in the far east, where they live in
nomadic tribes.
So called Imperial Ogres differ from their brethren.
They are commonly found in the Moot, living
among the Halflings with whom they have
a strange kindred spirit. They tend to be smaller
and less brutal than their cousins, but potentially
brighter, and usually more civilized.
While their size and bad reputation continue
to cause anxiety and prejudice among
common Oldworlders, Imperial ogres
are an increasingly common sight in
the Empire, where they usually serve
in the army and mercenary companies,
but also deal in trade, crafts and hard
physical labor.
