Fluff compilation, submissions welcome!

@Groghog:
I've read the spread sheet: impressive, very well done.

I see, though, there are no notes for my tribe, so, here they are:

1.the greathead tribe hates all that's empire related, because an empire armyman accidentaly killed Ikimik's father (Ikimik wanted to do it himself);
2.The tribe lives in the lands surrounding the empire, since the tribe used to be hired by the Middenheim army, but, after the accident, the relashioship has gone bad.

cheers

i have no notes for my trise ether . so:  

1.the Hellgut Tribe warship heat and fire .        

2.the Hellgut Tribe use lava creatures insted of gorgers and giants.

3.bright yellow warpaint.

4. they live near a giant volcano they named Hellgut.

And i'm still going to write my army fluff.

Oh, I can give yous oem information to write into that chart about my Yhetee Eater Tribe.

Tyrant: Ghede Yhetee Eater (uses teh Kineater Big name, :-) )

Notes I have so far: They are an offshoot of teh Mighty Fist tribe, thus they believe tattooing their arms adds to strength, but use teh symbol of teh yhetee for the tattoos. Ghede created his offshoot when the bruiser leading his warband summons the yhetees when ghede disagreed, ghede eats one of the yhetees marking his arms and his Ironguts eat the other two and a brawl ensues which leaves Ghede and his IG unscathed and -insert name- and his retinue dead and eaten as well :-) doomie.

That's just a little idea so far, it takes me a while to complete fluff.
I was thinking of having ghede to have been molested by yhetees when he was a whelp, but I dunno, lol.

Top notch work, Groghog! Your hard work is greatly appreciated, and thanks for including the Whelpgobblers in your compilation!

nice work Groghog!

I've also got some more info on the Handbiters' culture and lifestyle. sorry if it's a bit long...

-the Handbiters are also known as the Slavetrader tribe and the Slavelords. The latter is frowned upon by the Tyrant, since he considers himself to be the only real Slavelord.

-Slaves are the tribe's main good. They will trade almost anyone for food, drinks and sometimes even gold.

-Biting off hands stayed a traditional way of sealing a pact and proving loyalty to a member of another race. The ogre proves this by not eating the rest of the other guy, but he WILL eat him if he finds himself betrayed.

-There are several levels of authority when it comes to slavekeeping: Slavelord (the Tyrant), Overseers (Bruisers and Butchers), Keepers (Ironguts), and Runners (Bulls).
Butchers are somewhat special in the Handbiters tribe. While the Bruisers maintain discipline by force, the Butchers use fear. Most wear hideous masks made of skin and carry around cruel instruments to use in their ‘experiments’, for which they have free reign in choosing subjects.
 
-Slavegiants are of huge importance. The tribe is very proud of keeping these monsters, and could feast greatly if they'd ever trade it. Giants are therefore relatively respected (other creatures are treated like gnoblars, or worse). This doesn't mean the giants aren't chained and beaten, though.
It isn't uncommon for the ogres to decorate their giants with skulls, clothes and pieces of gold which have no other use.

-With any other creature, the Handbiters are very impatient. Rhinoxen are used as meat and not much else. Some Butchers do enjoy keeping a wild degenerate ogre (gorger) as their own little project.

-Maneaters travel around the world, spreading the fame of the tribe. If anyone wishes to recruit a band of Handbiters or buy their slaves, a Maneater is the guy to contact.
Maneaters who return to the tribe acquire much respect from their fellow ogres. The tribe is fascinated by stories of the outside world. They all ultimately wish for fame across the whole world. This has resulted in the tribe traveling slowly towards the Old World.

-Gnoblars, though slaves themselves, are used to keep smaller slaves under control. Large groups of humans, dwarfs, hobgoblins and orcs are accompanied by even more Gnoblars. They stop the other slaves from conspiring, force them to fight in battle and cry out loud if anyone tries to escape.

Famous Handbiters at this time:
Slavelord Tyrant Ghengis Giantbreaker: Ruling tyrant

‘Leatherface’: most sadistic and violent of butchers

‘Babyface’: said to be Leatherface’s apprentice. He owns most of the gnoblars and is a way better cook than his teacher.

Brok the Unsubtle: maneater active in the Empire/Brettonia
Sami al Muracca: maneater formally active in Araby
Groffa the Gunner: maneater active in Nuln
Overseer Ghakha Mawseerker: former maneater and pitfighter, currently Bruiser

Reddi Longstrider: only known Hunter from the Handbiter tribe. He is only accepted because of his ability to locate giants. Handbiters distrust anyone who hangs around animals for too long. (Which are hounds is this case, not sabretusks)

great work groghog! you da ogre. although i dont have a name for my tyrant yet, im working on it. i'll have to get back to you

grat work dude. keep it up

Right then, I going to do my bit, and pitch my Tribe, the Mawguard. Note: this fluff is likely to be discarded within about a month, so don't be surprised if I repost several times.

One piece of advice would be to check out the discussions on Ogre females, husbandary, and eating habits. Pauncho and I have contributed largely to these (addmittedly, him a lot more than me) and I would like to see his effort in this compilation.

Now, The Mawguard.

The Mawguard began with the pilgrimage of the Tyrant Grymm. He wished to see the Maw for himself, and nothing would stand in the way of his desire, not even the coming winter. He had previously decided to bring his whole Tribe with him, and set to thinking about how he would protect him and them from the intense cold. It took a while but Grymm was thorough. He noticed how the fur of the cavebeasts kept them from death, and determined to experiment. A few weeks later, and Grymm had outfitted himself and his entire Tribe with cloaks made out of the fur of cavebeasts. Protected by these, they set out, through the Giantlands, down into the lowlands and into the steppes surrounding the Maw. They were not seen again for months. What perversions and strangeness Grymm saw in the lands surrounding the Maw is a mystery. But what all know was that Grymm and his Tribe reached the Maw and spoke with the Ogre god. When they returned to the mountains, they were changed. Their cloaks were crimson with gore and ichor. Their muscles were unnaturally swollen and their fangs and teeth longer and sharper. In their eyes danced madness, and branded into each shoulder was the symbol of the Maw. They returned to the mountains, and death followed in their wake.

On their return they found their old lands taken by a Tribe called the Stonefists, led by a foolish yet ambitious Tyrant named Farga. Grymm met him on a battlefield. The Stonefists vastly outnumbered their foes, but many of them were cowed by the silence of their advesaries. And none could fail to recognise the symbols etched into their flesh. Nevertheless, the order was given to attack. What occured next went down in Ogre history. The tribe of Grymm's brutality shocked even the Ogres. The Stonefists were butchered, and torn apart, cows and whelps hurling themselves at the enemy with their mouths gaping, tearing the faces from their opponents with their bare teeth. The Bulls ripped apart their Stonefist counterparts with their bare hands, cramming chunks of gore into roaring mouths. And at the centre were Grymm and his Ironguts. Grymm himself killed Farga by ripping his stomach out of his torso with one awesome fist, and hurling himself upon the corpse, worrying it like a dog. Those Stonefists that did not flee were butchered, and for the whole of that day, the battlefield resounded to the sounds of a vile, sadistic orgy.

Finally, the slaughter was over. Grymm marched on the Stonefist camp. Then he did a thing never done before: he enslaved an Ogre tribe. Then he returned himself to his old throne room, and summoned messengers. He demanded meat and lands from his neighbours, or they would fear the wrath of the Maw and His Chosen. Hearing of what had been done to the Stonefists his neighbours reluctantly complied. Rumours spread that the Tribe were touched by the Maw, and under His protection. To defy them, is to defy the Maw himself. Certainly the Mawguard, as Grymm's tribe came to be called, perpetuated this myth. Even today, with the gradual civilization of Ogre tribes, the sight of the Mawguard, in their gore-stained cloaks, and the brands of the Maw in their skins, is enough to send a shiver of fear into the hearts of Tyrants as powerful as Greasus Goldtooth. For they know that even their power is no match for the servants of their vengeful, ever-consuming god.
