Additional Information

Social Structure

Ogres are not particularly good at living peacefully even with others of their kind. They sometimes manage to cooperate in family groups of 2-5 individuals, but more commonly their "society" consists of being tyrannical lords over small communities of weaker races, or serving as mercenaries for a sufficiently fearsome master.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Their antisocial nature leads ogres to have a collective wanderlust; they often migrate in groups of one to three in search of isolated new territories. Since few mundane threats can deter them, they are often free to do so. Thus, they are widespread across Ferkathas, but have few territories that they are especially associated with. They are more of a ubiquitous menace.
If they can claim anywhere as a cultural homeland, it is Biworr. They are also commonly employed as mercenaries and slavemasters in Usk-Erom by the Jarl.
