The Tribe of The Unseen Mountain. Mount Towerveil.

original thread ↗

Towerveil is one of the tallest mountains in the kingdom, covered in cloud and seldom seen except for 1 day every Year. In the caverns of the mountain many gorgers live ready to kill those who are not lead by their ogre-kin up the mountain. Maneaters are not welcomed to the mountain, detectable because of their heraldry and human clothes of which reminds them of their ancestors decadent ways. The tribe only acts in the way of their ancestors once a year on the pilgrimage to the great maw, to show  repsect to them. Returning to what was once was, permanently is a betreyal to the Maw.
The Ogre Tribe of The Unseen Mountain are a isolated and xenophobic tribe, who very rarely travel down the mountain. Not much is known of their existence, excpet from descendants of the mountain who through the years have travelled down the mountain in search of adventure or those who have been exile. The Tribe was formed from many tribes from the kingdom, who seeked the height of the skies in search of worshop for sending their deity the Great Maw.  Although this is a isolated communinity it is a large community of around 100 ogres and a few gnoblars who followed when the ogres climbed the mountain.
Once a year on the day when the clouds have cleared the Ogres of the Unseen Mountain travel down the mountain for pilgrimage to the Great Maw in the deserts of Cathay.  On their pilgrimage, they are ready for war. In honor of their fallen ancestors to their enemies they ravage the spice roads of Cathay leaving nothing but bones in their wake. Some ogres follow as they make their way, unkown to the tribe, and unnoticed. As they kill and eat all in their way to the Great Maw the pilgrimage becomes more that of a crusade, killing all in the name of their deity. Painting their skin in blue and grey, representing the sky of which birthed their God, this swell of ogres (mostly bulls) race accross cathay, they care not for who gets in their way for they are eaten sacrifices of the Great Maw.
