75: Intro to Ogres | Warhammer Old World Lore
About this Episode
We journey east into the Mountains of Mourn, where jagged, storm-wracked peaks rise above the Dark Lands and the howling winds can freeze even an Ogre solid, and where hunger, violence, and survival shape every moment of existence. This episode explores the Ogre Kingdoms themselves: a brutal homeland ruled by endlessly warring Tyrants, where gluttony is power, strength is law, and the ever-hungry Great Maw is both god and justification. We break down how Ogres live, fight, and think—why raiding, mercenary work, and extortion are simply efficient ways to eat, how their immense bodies and gut-centered anatomy make them nearly unstoppable, and why size and bulk define status more than bloodline or intellect. From their ancient destruction of the Skytitan empire to the long memory of a lost eastern realm and a looming future of renewed expansion, the episode paints the Ogres not as mindless brutes, but as a terrifyingly practical culture whose population is rising once more—raising the chilling question of what happens when a people who believe “might makes right” grow hungry again.
