The History of the Great Maw:

 

Many many centuries before the birth of either Clan Ogr and Clan Ungri there was once a great Kingdom of Ologs, Bloodsavaged beast who’d rule over their territory with iron fist and jagged teeth. Not a living thing could survive long in the Kingdom of Ologs, No army could topple their savagery, No beast could rival their prowess, None until on one faithful day came The Great Maw. A beast of terrible sizes able to swallow entire villages with but a single bite of its wretched jaws, Armies swallowed like a bite sized snack once the creature reared its ferocious jaws. Not a living soul has ever seen the full scale of the beast, most not even alive long enough to see the full scale of the horrendous depths that make out the creature's jaws. The Olog Kingdom too was faced with this horrible beast and its vicious bite. Villages fell, caverns where collapsed, The beast ate and ate till the Olog Kingdom was driven to near extinction. Eventually however it stopped, It rested on the surface of the earth having laid its horrible depth’s wide for the remainder of the ologs to behold. Instead of attempting to kill it or flee their lands the Olog-Hai by order of their great King besieged themselves to start worshiping the Maw, A devotion grown out of admiration of the creature and a crippling fear of its appetite and savagery. In the Centuries to come the Kingdom Prospered and as all things do eventually vanished with time, The Faith however remained, Recovered by the titanous Ologs in Clan Ogr and now adopted by The Bloodhungry Ologs of Clan Ungri after the Ogre’s too had vanished. Still worshiped as a deity to be admired and feared.

Ranks within the faith: 

 

Even within the savage culture of the Ologs exists hierarchy, And thus as with their faith this is no different. The Maw has some more zealous servants than others, like the Church of the Canon has its Priests and Bishops.

 

The Slaughtermaster:

[!] A Depiction of a Slaughtermaster.

 

Most commonly the leader of a tribe of Ologs gets the role of Slaughtermaster, While in Clan Ungri the role of its leader is known as the Popogoth this Olog also doubles down as the Slaughtermaster of the Faith. This Olog is the leader of the faith and is in charge of making and delivering of the sacrifice stew to the Shrines of the Great Maw, He guides the lesser Butchers below him in the finding, Killing and finally preparing of the best cuts of meat to be hurled into the Great Maw its stew. Occasionally the Slaughtermaster may decree that a live specimen is to be hucked into the boiling pot of meats and foods so the Great Maw can revel in its screams of terror. Slaughtermasters oftentimes also wear little to no armor believing their devotion to the Great Maw protects them from any bodily harm, They rarely will take the time to equip any sets of armor and are usually found wearing everyday attire or the apron of a chef.

 

 

The Butchers:

The Butchers are like the Cardinals to the Slaughtermaster, Responsible with the selecting of the best subjects to harvest meat from, The Victims more often than not alive before they reach the Butchers their blades. Not only are the Butchers responsible for selecting the best meats for the Sacrifice stew but they also double down as the Tribe their cook, Devotely feeding their fellow Ologs and more importantly ensuring the Slaughtermaster does not grow hungry lest they risk ending in the stew themselves. These Ologs, like their Slaughtermaster, are rarely found to be wearing armor and usually reserve themselves to wearing butcher clothing. Carrying as a weapon only their massive meat cleavers or meat hooks.

 

The Devoted:

[!] A warband of Ologs out hunting for victims to sacrifice

 

Alas there they stand, The Devoted followers of The Great Maw, Loyal till the end to their Tribe leader and the horrible deity they worship and fear despite far more common in a tribe these towering behemoths too serve a critical role in the worship of the Great Maw. Namely, these beings are tasked with the hunting and collecting of flesh for the Butchers to chop up in preparation of the Sacrifice Stew, While most of the stew oftentimes contains the flesh of animals these creatures are encouraged to deliver their Butchers live Humans, Elves, Dwarves whatever may most resemble descendant life as this of course remains the Maw’s most favorite snack.

The Sacrifice Hunts:

[!] A Olog tribe out hunting for sacrifices to the Great Maw

 

Mostly ordered to be conducted by the Slaughtermaster or the Butchers ologs make a great deal out of the hunting of creatures and descendants to put into their stews or eat during their festivals and thus mostly hosted by either the Slaughtermaster or the Butchers these bloodthirsty beasts often go out to hunt great beasts or prepare their tribes to besiege and attack unsuspecting villages to rip away their men and woman from to drag back to their caves and feast halls.


Feast of The Great Maw:

[!] A depiction of a great feast in one of the Olog Caverns.

 

Much like their viscous God the Ologs themselves too have great appetites and a vigor to fight and slaughter, During the preparation of a sacrifice stew and during the sacrificing itself great feasts are hosted where the titans can eat their fills and fight till their bones are broken and unable to stand upon any more. This is also why lesser orcs often find themselves dead at the end of such a horrid night. The Ologs however do have a great tendency to continue this feast for days or sometimes even weeks on end leaving great casualties even among their own tribesmen or fellow orc kind. A display of savagery and greediness the Great Maw is sure to revel in. 

 

The Feeding of the Maw:

[!] A depiction of the sacrifice pot being prepared

 

Perhaps the most important activities that commonly can be seen on the many feasts the Olog tribes host amongst themselves, All the work that is done before one of these many feasts leads to this. All their strife and loss in combat have worked up to this. The Feeding of the Great Maw, Copious amounts of food and sometimes even live creatures are hurled into the shrines devoted to this terrible beast as well as of course brought by the Slaughtermaster the Sacrifice stew he and the Butchers worked tirelessly on is presented, Now this leaves many a soul asking, Why? Why do the ologs feed this thing that supposedly brought them to the brink of extinction. Well, other then because they fear and admire the creature the ologs also harbor a potent belief that the Great Maw ensures their prosperity and wellbeing, Delivering the ologs with abundant conflict and mountains of food and drink to enjoy amongst themselves. Long as the Maw is kept well fed.

"Wagh be upon those of filth, the unworthy."

The brown uruk spoke as he noticed more and more ologs filling the capital of the Iron Horde.

"Ah pitty those who face the followers of the Great Maw."

The great collector ploughed over the roads, dragging a trail of blood through the sand with the corpses of animal and descendant, carrying yet another sacrifice to the great tower of the maw. "LUP DA MAWWW....." The beast would rumble in chant as it strode forth.
