Preface An Ogre of large stature is seen emerging from a mud-hut on an island behind the Orcish mainland. He scouts the horizon with a grunt in search of any animals. With a weary sigh he whips out a jabbernak leg from his simple hut, it appears to be rotten, but edible. He takes a crunching bite, spraying white webs of fat all over the place. The leg half-gone, meat and bone alike, he immediately pursed his lips for another bite, a proven means to elicit taste. Not soon after he finished the ‘delicacy’ his tummy would rumble once again, he had no other choice but to go search for some delicious berries. He soon got lost on the rather small island, his lower lip quivering in fear of the oncoming dark. While searching back for his hut he stubbed his knee against a average sized, oddly shaped monolith. In pain he rolls over on his side and releases a groan that would shake the very foundation of Athera.. or not. In the midst of his childlike tantrum a soothing hum emanates from the mysterious monolith. His whining quickly came to a stop, his mind tingling. The world around him suddenly became that more colorful and intricate. He quickly rose to his feet, with a silken voice and a determined look in his eyes he uttered a chant. If you'd listen closely; “Age of Ogre am upon us..“ The Monolith of Mir’dlog The Monolith is a mystical tablet that emits magical energy. Only ogres, however, are susceptible to this energy. When an ogre comes within the tablet's radius its senses are heightened and its brain capacity will greatly increase. The ogre will be able to think faster and logically superior to perhaps even other species. An ogre’s brain acts as a charger. If an ogre spends ample time within the tablet’s vicinity some of the magical essence is stored within the ogre. After leaving the tablet's circle of influence the effect persists for a mediocre amount of time after which it eventually wears off, returning the ogre to its previous feeble minded state. Final thoughts. I made this to add some flavor to the Ogre sub-race, this idea has an obvious benefit and drawback, which could lead to some very interesting RP scenarios. I may expand upon the Monolith at a later point in time, but it all depends on how Ogres and other participants will act on it in roleplay. Happy roleplaying peeps.
