Jogador:
hi
Larek: Greetings!
Jogador: job
Larek: I like to think of myself as a discoverer and explorer of unknown regions and cultures. At the moment I'm acting as a kind of merchant. It is a convenient way to get Vuzrog's permission to live here for a time without getting eaten.
Jogador: Vuzrog's
Larek: He's the chieftain of the Bloody Skulls tribe and, to be honest, he is the exemplary ogre: big, strong, always hungry, blunt and not very clever. ...
Larek: But as he is the strongest indivdual of this tribe, he also is the big boss, as the ogres often call the chieftain.
Jogador: chieftain
Larek: The strongest male ogre is a tribe's chieftain. For the Bloody Skulls this is Vuzrog, at least at the moment. But Ghorza seems to expect that a younger ogre will challenge him soon.
Jogador: Bloody Skulls
Larek: That's the tribe living in this village. They are one of the settled clans, whilst others are still nomadic. In addition, they seem to be the only tribe so far that tolerates humans. ...
Larek: Mainly because the shaman sees a benefit in our presence.
Jogador: Ghorza
Larek: Ghorza is the tribe's shaman. I have the impression that she is a rather unusual ogress, because she's interested in humans not only in the sense of a tasty snack. She seems to think that we could be useful to her and the tribe.
Jogador: shaman.
Larek: The shaman is very important for an ogre tribe. Often, but not always, the shaman is an elder ogress. She cares for the spiritual welfare of the tribe, appeases the spirits, blesses newborn ogre-children and the like. ...
Larek: This tribe's shaman is Ghorza.
Jogador: benefit
Larek: Ogres value food above all things. They like meat or beer, but as I found out they also adore sweets! They're downright scoffing them. But they don't know how to make cookies or candy. And at this point the humans come in. ...
Larek: As far as I'm concerned, I survive amongst the ogres because I play the role of a merchant here. I provide them with sweets, they let me live here and pursue my studies about Krailos.
Jogador: Krailos
Larek: Krailos is this vast grassland and steppe you are standing in, and is mainly populated by ogres. The region is located north of Oramond, bordered by high mountains to the south and a wild sea to the east, west and north. ...
Larek: It's a secluded area, but it seems to has a very interesting history.
Jogador: ogres
Larek: The ogres are simple, warlike people, more interested in a fight and good food than in politics. Ogres like conflict; they are impulsive and quick to anger. They prefer to solve conflicts through combat rather than words. ...
Larek: They are distrustful towards strangers like us and tend to welcome them with avoidance in the best case. Lately yet, the Bloody Skulls tribe here has shown a sort of interest in trade with other peoples.
Jogador: Oramond
Larek: Oramond lies south of here, separated from Krailos by a high mountain chain. It's very different from the ogre lands, but also dangerous. Many minotaurs live there.
Jogador: secluded
Larek: Krailos is surrounded by many underwater shelves. They make it difficult for ships to reach the coast unscathed. At the rugged shores you may find the one or other shipwreck.
Jogador: food
Larek: An honorable death is not the highest purpose in an ogre'€™s life, but rather a fulfilled life, which primarily means enough food and a comfortable hut. Food carries great weight in ogre life and society.
Jogador: interest
Larek: Ogres value food above all things. They like meat or beer, but as I found out they also adore sweets! They're downright scoffing them. But they don't know how to make cookies or candy. And at this point the humans come in. ...
Larek: As far as I'm concerned, I survive amongst the ogres because I play the role of a merchant here. I provide them with sweets, they let me live here and pursue my studies about Krailos.
Jogador: society
Larek: The ogres are a tribal people, divided into several different clans. Leader of a tribe is usually the strongest male ogre. The chieftain is supported by an ogre-shaman. If the shaman is female, the two are often, but not necessarily, a couple.
Jogador: history
Larek: Once a sophisticated, but peaceful grassland empire existed on this peninsula. It was noted for its advanced architecture and philosophy. ...
Larek: But it was destroyed hundreds of years ago through social breakdown, caused by their interest in forbidden things. ...
Larek: In this empire the ogres were not quite slaves, but rather a kind of deprived lower class. Yet it seems they were the only ones to survive the downfall of this ancient realm, perhaps simply because of their physical strength.
Jogador: goblins
Larek: There are quite a few goblins living here in Krailos. I suppose they originally arrived as stowaways on the ships that now and then burst at Krailos' rocky shores. Most of these goblins are kept as slaves by the ogres. ...
Larek: As are other smaller races like dworcs or coryms.
Jogador: forbidden
Larek: The humans who lived here so long ago worshipped the suns of our world. Not only the calm and considerate Suon but also his reckless and wild sister Fafnar. As far as I found out, the veneration of these two aspects was in balance for a long time. ...
Larek: But the the adherents to the wild goddess Fafnar prevailed and the destructive nature of their goddess eventually caused the downfall of this ancient empire.
Jogador: Suon
Larek: Suon is one of the two suns of our world, considered as one of the gods, the son of Fardos, by many. Some call him the Life-Bringing Sun and believe that he observes creation with love and blesses us with warmth and growth. ...
Larek: Others guess he is just the misguided sibling of Fafnar and that his light turns pale compared to her brightness.
Jogador: Fafnar
Larek: Fafnar is one of the two suns of our world, considered as one of the gods, the daughter of Fardos, by many. Some call her the Scorching Sun and believe that she observes creation with hate and jealousy. ...
Larek: But others think she's the stronger of the two suns, that Suon's light turns pale compared to her brightness.
Jogador: Fardos
Larek: Fardos is considered the creator, often called the Great Observer. Many people believe that it was his doing that we possess divine souls.
Jogador: Great Hunger
Larek: Ogres worhip the Great Hunger, a kind of spirit being they believe will eat up the entire world if not fed regularly. Therefore they often perform rites of sacrifice - with food but also with living creatures, to feed this entity.
Jogador: name
Larek: My name is Larek. Some call me Larek the Wayfarer, because of my voyages to many faraway lands.
Jogador: trade
Larek: Of course, just browse through my wares.
Jogador: bye
Larek: Farewell.
