Ologs are a sub-race of the Orcs. Also known as Orogs or Ogres, Ologs are the largest of the orcish subraces. Huge, going from 8 feet to 10 feet, dull-witted towers of flesh, fat, and muscle, ologs are slow-witted and primitive.

Physical Attributes

As the largest of the Orcish subraces, the Ologs are often noted for their immense size, and muscular aptitude. Their skin tone ranges between various shades of red, green, and blue, and while their hair is often black, most Ologs opt to shave their heads and chins to prevent their hair being grabbed in war. Their jaws are often the most pronounced of the Orcish subraces, with some of the largest Orcish tusks in history jutting from their jaws.

Other Attributes

Olog's possess an extraordinarily hardy digestive tract, capable of eating almost anything without causing harm to themselves, within reason. For this reason, many Ologs compete in eating the hardest thing in reach to display their strength, from rocks to the swords of fallen enemies. Their mental capabilities however, are incredibly lacking. Ologs are without a doubt the least intelligent of all the playable races, a price for their enormous strength and size. Their limited intelligence leads Ologs to be incapable to bluff or foresee consequences to what they say, instead Ologs simply say whatever comes to their mind at the moment. This also contributes to Olog's narrow emotional range, whom are said to only be able to be happy, hungry, or in a rage.

Aging

The average lifespan of an Olog is quite short, often less than 100 years due to their constant involvement in war. Dying outside of combat (such as dying of old age or disease) is the most disgraceful fate that could befall an Olog, and as a result many Ologs assure they die in combat by always fighting. Due to this, there has been no recorded case of an Olog succumbing to old age, though it is believed to be similar to the age an Uruk dies, around 500 years.

Curses

Like its kin, the Ologs descended from Krug, whom was mutilated and cursed by the Arch-Daemon Iblees. After his fight and defeat against Iblees, his form was burnt by his flame and his skin scarred. This caused his pigment to change green, and develop into different colours in later generations. He was cursed to have tusks emerging from his mouth, and to appear as an abomination; as well, he was cursed with bloodlust, forever seeking carnage and warfare.

Culture

Olog culture is perhaps the most crude of all the races, rising from victories in war, many Ologs will often play with the corpses of fallen enemies, making fun of their weakness before returning to feasting and fighting.

Art

Ologs do not produce any art other than that created in the field of battle, either as a form of brutish fighting, or some maiming of their enemy.

Literature

There has never been a recorded instance in history of an Olog learning to read fluently, let alone write. As a result, no Olog literature has ever been written.

Music

Ologs possess a sense of rhythm, so often drift towards playing War Drums whenever they have an inkling to play any instrument, but return to combat when they inevitably smash through their drum.

Religion

Ologs lack the intelligence to grasp the nuances and subtleties worship requires, however they are often told of the Spirits, and will offer a war cry for them as they charge into battle, and understand the very basic fundamentals of Shamanism.

Cities

Ologs currently reside within Sanjezal with the rest of their Orcish brethren.
