The tale of Garnukk Skullbasher.

original thread ↗


Greetings.

I have a backround story for the Tyrant in my Ogre army. And I would like to know what you think about it.

The main thing is that he is not simply an Ogre. With an Ogre mother and a Stone troll father. Garnukk were thrown out as a baby. A mixed breed would never be accepted. But he survived and grew stronger. And he pushed himself hard to become the strongest, and since he has trollblood in his veins he could kill the most dangerous beasts and monsters in the wilds. Any wounds that would have killed an regular Ogre healed. And growing up he travelled far and wide across the old world killing almost anything and anybody he would face. Collecting throphies. And years later  he returned to challenge the Tyrant of the tribe he once was thrown out from. Determined to show the tribe what he was capable of.  Garnukk wielded a great hammer made from a big rock, swung with two hands. The Tyrant was huge, much bigger than Garnukk and he stepped down from the throne  made from skulls. He took up a sword with a shaft made of bone and a long broad blade. He charged Garnukk who held his ground, the gound shook from the impact when the two clashed together. The Tyrant attacked with the giand blade and Garnukk parry the blow. Quickly the Tyrant hit with his huge fist. Hitting Garnukk in the face, teeth cracking. Garnukk spat blood and smirked, and soon the teeth had grown back. This time Garnukk charged, the Tyrant making another attack but misses. Garnukk sees an opportunity and stomps the blade, breaking it. He then swung the hammer with all his strenght in the head of the Tyrant before he had time to react with his huge mass of a body. Smashing the skull into his shoulders (And the name Skullbasher were born). As the body fell to the ground Garnukk stepped up to it and tore out the heart and ate it. The rest of the body were feasted on by Garnukk Skullbashers new tribe...

During the years since Garnukk Skullbashers victory many have tried to kill him, mostly because they dont want a mixed breed as a leader. Eager to replace him. And others, relatives and children to the former Tryrant simply out for revenge. But none has succeeded. And many fear him, that is how he maintain order in the tribe. No one dares to oppose him. And now they are one of the mightiest tribes, always at war and in search for more treasures and power.
