Ogres

One group of orcs fled into the swamps in order to escape their human pursuers. There, they found that their magic was little help against the wyrms that had taken up residence there. Instead, they had to rely on muscle to fight them. In response, they grew to twice their original height, slightly shorter than giants. Additionally, they became much more muscular, able to lift enormous weights. They are now considered to be the most physically strong of the godborn races. Traditionally, they use clubs or war hammers as weapons, although they have been known to use swords as well. Although they are typically thought of as dumb brutes, ogres are actually very intelligent. The trouble they have communicating with other races makes this difficult to see sometimes, but they are adept at the art of smithing, and the best weapons and armor on Tellus are of ogrish origin. They joined the Orcish Republic because they saw it as the best protection they could get from invaders. Ogres have a poor reputation among non-orcish races due to their actions when fighting off future raids. Due to their size, they require huge quantities of food, so starving ogres on the battlefield would often be driven to cannibalism. Besides this, they are known for domesticating bunyips and selling them to those willing to pay.
