Ogres

Ogres generally inhabit hills and mountain ranges. A peaceful race, they fight only in self-defence, and are both bigger and stronger than humans.

They worship a Bright Daughter by the name of Oda. Some of the female elders are gifted divine communicators, and are known as 'Sisters of the Spirit'. Each Sister has two 'Daughters of the Spirit' to assist her.

The 'Keeper of Time' and two 'Watchers of Time' record on wooden boards the age of every group member.

'Bears-head' is regarded as the lead hunter, and two 'Wolves-heads' are his helpers.

They hunt bear, deer, wolves and eagles, utilising their meat as food, their skins for various cloths, and their bones, teeth and feathers for tools. Rocks, wood and water are also put to good use.

Male and female ogres have equal societal-rights.

Organised into groups led by an elder council, inter-group conflicts are generally resolved by negotiations between the councils.
