Hello friends. Instead of doing a constant stream of my victories ( and defeats ) on the battle report section I have opted to create a gnoblog. I shall continue to update this with the painted models progress (painting done by a friend), Battle reports, and any changes to the Tribe of the Shadowpeaks. I will post my list now, and if there are ever any updates i will edit it on this page rather than post a whole new army.Now the special characters I am listing I do not play with all the time, I shuffle back and forth between my Slaughtermaster list and my Tyrant list. But I like fluff so I will be adding ALL my special characters.Also I have special names for some of my items, but they are pretty obvious what they are. Also as to the lore, I dont pride myself on any writing skills and my grammar is quiet poor so try not to pick it apart much. I mostly am writing this stuff on the fly off the top of my head

The Beginning of Urgok
Once a regular ogre tribe ruled by a ruthless and foolish Ogre Tyrant, the Shadowpeak tribe lived in a lowly valley. Constantly being assaulted by greater tribes they fell upon hard times. One night a young ogre named Urgok Jawgrim had a dream, a vision of sorts. In it was fire and death for all, including his tribe. A great fiery mouth swallowed he and his kin into nothingness. Waking from this nightmare he set out to find its meaning, as a rumor was spreading to all ogre tribes of the great eruption and the opening of a new flaming maw, The Fire Mouth. Making a 5 year pilgrimage to the volcano he learned many new and wondrous things, above all else the devastation being wrought by a mysterious Flame cult. When finally he set foot upon the sacred burning soil of the Fire Mouth he peered within, and instantly understood this was a true force to be praised. Urgok knelt down and prayed, for he knew to save his tribe he would have to become stronger, the greatest of this new gods disciples. With a crack like lightning two forms crashed down like meteors destroying the surrounding area but leaving Urgok surprisingly unharmed. One bathed in a soothing yet sinister purple flame, the other in a wild and flickering green flame, the Twins of the Flame mouth were brought into existence. Rising up Urgok had a stunned look about him, as these two ogres approached. Reaching for his mighty weapon to defend himself Urgok made ready to die, but to his surprise the twins knelt before him and proclaimed allegiance to he and he alone. With a sinister grin Urgok set off to return to his tribe, knowing he had truly been blessed by this new Fire Mouth. Upon his return his tribe was in shambles, barely surviving on the meager remains of what other tribes had left. Eagerly approaching the current Tyrant he issued a challenge, a challenge for leadership of this tribe by mortal combat. Knowing only the small and weak ogre that had left years earlier the Tyrant accepted , with a grin he leapt into the brawlers pit. As the twins Vulgelg and Megolz made their way towards the entrance Urgok stopped them, for this was his fight was his and his alone. The years of training in many new and foreign ways of battle aided Urgok well, but in the end it was a force like no other ogre had ever seen that had ended the battle. Both Urgok and the tyrant traded blows, however something about Urgoks attacks had seemed eerily different. As if struck by a cannon, the final and most monumental strike burst the tyrants entire being into an eruption of flame and flesh. Standing on the smoldering remains of his would be opponent, Urgok let loose a great howl. Within moments every tent and hovel burst into flames. A deep voice could be heard by all, tho only the twins understood the message. Pointing deep within the mountains the newly formed Shadowpeak tribe began a journey to a new home.
Finding of the Great Caverns and the First Sacrifice
The journey took long and was difficult, but after months of searching the Twins Vulgelg and Megolz announced they had arrived. All any ogre could see was more mountain range, no camps, no shrines. As the group began to argue over the foolish endeavor the twins both began to Dance and chant in unison. With many flashes that only the strongest of ogres did not flinch away from red bolts of lightning began striking the base of a tall and black mountain. Within moments it was over, and to the wonderment of all an entrance had been formed. The still molten and swirling rock began to harden and form designs, this was to be the new home for the Shadowpeak tribe, for this was truly the tallest of all mountains with a great shadow descending upon all other peaks. Hurrying in Urgok found that the door did not lead to a great chamber, but a wall of rock. With grins on their faces the twins explained " He has done all he will, the rest is upon your shoulders, within a month the Great Fire mouth Demands tribute ". Intrigued by this message Urgok commanded his ogre tribe to begin quarrying . With tools from sticks to stolen cannons the tribe quickly hollowed out much of the entrance room,and to the wonderment of all beheld countless precious gems. From sparkling topaz to the most radiant of rubies this amazing sight which no other ogre had every beheld. As quickly as the image had appeared it instantly became a blaze of flame. The twins , belching green and purple flame from their mouths, reduced the newly found treasure to magma. Angered the tribe quickly encircle the twins until the great bellow of Urgok rang loud cracking even the walls. As he approached the twins he smiled sneerily, asking " Is the great fire god pleased with the meager offer?". Within moments the tribe understood this was to be the sacrifice. And as they peered up once more they could see not all the gems and metals were gone, fore the great Fire Mouth did not leave his followers unrewarded.
Enemies from within
For many years the shadowpeak tribe continued the tradition of mining gems and sacrificing only the most prized one to the new deity. However within the tribe were those who still remained faithful to the old ways, the ways of the Great Maw. For they knew to abandon it completely was to doom themselves to his wrath. And so it was that the Chief Slaughtermaster, Skarrat Crimsongut lead prayers to the Great Maw despite Urgoks objections. Little did Urgok know that Skarrat also wanted the power bestowed to him by the Fire Mouth. However Skarrat wanted this power to sacrifice to the Great Maw, for he knew such sacrifice would bring great favor. And so he set out to overthrow Urgok, planning and scheming. Finally the day had come, he gathered his most faithful followers and assaulted the Hall of the Everflame, throne room to Urgok. Shocked to find no guards Skarrat walked towards Urgok, with only the Twins of the Flame Mouth and his own disciples present. Laughing he proclaimed " Step down or be dragged down, the Great maw rules this tribe now". With a cackle that sent chills down even the most devout of Skarrats men, Urgok spoke " Where is this great maw of yours? Let him make his presence know". With no sound Urgok grinned after several moments. " Do you see wizard, you are alone in this place. He cannot hear your prayers, this is not his land.. these are no longer his people... But MY god lives in every crack, every crevice of this great mountain. You have foolishly sealed your own fate by defying him." And with that the twins began chanting. With a blast of purple and green flame they spat what appeared to be molten spew on Skarrat, with screams of anguish and pain he became engulfed in fire. Fleeing at the sight of their leaders demise the remaining ogres got as far as the outer halls before they to became engulfed in this spreading fire. Reduced to nothing more than ash they blew away with a gust of air, however even to Urgok's astonishment Skarrat remained. Understanding now that the power of the Great Maw was not banished so easily Urgok commanded the twins to end their assault. Regenerating quickly Skarrat kneeled in defeat " Your god is the greater in this place, however mine shall not abandon his faithful servant, some day we shall battle again on even grounds. Then we shall see who is the victor" and with that Skarrat turned to leave. Howling with laughter Urgok spoke " Until that day, wear the brand of defeat and pray to your puny god for mine shall continue to grow in strength". Stabbing Skarrat in the back with his molten blade, Urgok left a mark for all to see how this day he had won. Back in his chambers Skarrat rested, cursing this new god. That night in his sleep he tossed and turned and an image burned into his eyes, and image of a Great gaping Maw of fire, waking in boiling sweat Skarrat fell to his knee's and could only gasp one word .. " No...."
