Ogre / Magre

The Ogre is a large, deadly, vicious species that devours all that it is able to; with its brute force and unnatural hunger. The Ogre species has recently begin invading the Human/Orc region in search of food, after striping it's land bare. They are a dumb species, with no foresight for the future, no drive towards technology or farming, only the need to kill, eat, and grow stronger.   The Magre, however, are a rare sub-breed of the Ogre species; possessing considerably less strength and endurance, but also possessing a stronger mind and a aptness for magic. Throughout the history of the Ogre region, Magres would be killed for their weakness. No Ogre would keep something that weak alive; and they often were devoured by their own kind. It wasn't until recently that a Magre was able to grow to adulthood, due to escaping into the deep wilds at a young age and eventually finding the Death Tower. This Magre was able to activate the relic after years of studying it while using the Tower as it's home to keep it safe and survive. Upon activation, the Magre learned deathly magical secrets; and the Tower itself killed all Ogres near it's location; granting that lifeforce as magic to the Magre.   Returning to the Ogre people, with this deadly magic, he quickly showed his dominance, slaughtering many without having to even get close to them. The Ogre, now fearing and respecting his great power, would not challenge his dominance. Under his guidance, the Magre were allowed to live, grow, and proper; eventually building the only city in the Ogre region and forcing the Ogres into slavery and servitude. All Magres are now taught the magics of the Death Relic.
