Tribe Name: The Chartooth Tribe
Brief History: The Boneshadow Tribe was once a very successful mercenary tribe along the Silk Road, and their tyrant - Gur Metalpuke - was fond of holding large feasts at the end of each summer to celebrate his tribe's continued success. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of roasting food and raw meat attracted the attention of a fire drake, which fell upon the celebrating ogres like a flaming comet from the sky. Gur was roasted alive by its flaming breath, as were many of the other ogres who were too confused by the drakes' sudden appearance to mount an effective defense.
Were it not for the quick thinking of Gur's mate, Mera, the tribe would have completely disappeared down the gullets of the fearsome beasts. Snatching up the tribe's battle standard, the ogre woman charged towards the monster and rammed the full length of the iron pole down the beast's throat as it prepared to exhale another searing blast of fire. Once the beast had finished its death throes, Mera had come to the conclusion that too many ogres had died to continue their current way of life. Few were willing to argue with Mera when she declared herself Tyrant, and those that did joined the fire drake in death.
Renaming the tribe the Chartooth, Mera - now sporting a cloak fashioned from the fire drake that had ushered in her new life - led those ogres who would follow her westward, through the mountain passes and into the lands of the thinlings.
I suppose I'll start with Mera herself, since she's the one in charge:
