īy the time that the arakkoan Apexis empire fell, the children of stone had grown in number and spread across the land. The schism this innovation created amongst ogre society resolved itself only when the now-forgotten tribe broke into the Warmaul and Boulderfist clans.
The first great technological innovation in ogre society was the concept of attaching a rock to the end of a very long stick to smash your enemies, rather than attempting to bash them with a rock held in your hand. Thus, the ogres consider themselves the rightful rulers of Draenor. The ogres themselves would later claim that they were born "at the beginning", and that when the great Forgers squeezed the light from the ball of fire that would become Draenor, they also shaped the ogres from the same smoking clay, granting them dominion over stone and earth. The ogre lords are the only ogres known to retain some of the physical traits of their gronn progenitors, such as the bony, calcified protrusions on their head and back, as well as a portion of the gronn's immense size and strength. Finally, from the ogres arose yet another race: the orcs. The ogres were smaller than their progenitors, and many of them would become enslaved to the ogron. Over thousands of years, the residual spores transformed a number of ogron into the ogres. Some of the magnaron devolved into beings called gronn, and due to the lingering effects of the spores, a small number of gronn continued degenerating into the ogron. After the colossals sacrificed themselves to destroy Botaan in a massive explosion, spores from the plant creature's body, teeming with the Spirit of Life, drifted back to Draenor's surface and clung to the hides of the magnaron, weakening their bodies. From the colossals' remains, new creatures known as magnaron emerged. After Grond's death, the colossals continued fighting the Sporemound Botaan and its minions, but over time many of the stone giants succumbed to their foes. As Grond and the Sporemounds fought, pieces of the battling leviathans fell to the earth and gave rise to the colossals, children of Grond, and the genesaur, children of the Sporemounds. Ogres can trace their lineage back to Grond, the enormous stone giant created by the titan Aggramar to defeat the Evergrowth and the plant-like Sporemounds. On the alternate Draenor, the Gorian Empire, ruled by Imperator Mar'gok, allied themselves with the Iron Horde.Īn ogron, ancestor of the ogres. These ogre magi often enjoy an elevated position among the clans. Though ogres are generally seen as unintelligent brutes, the ancient Gorian Empire was ruled by a succession of powerful sorcerers, and during the Second War, many more two-headed ogre magi came into existence due to the magical intervention of the orc warlock Gul'dan. Ogre society is based on a clan structure in which physical strength is greatly respected, and besting a rival is usually the only way to advance within the clan. After the Cataclysm, the Dreadmaul tribe was partially re-enslaved by Horde forces, while the Dunemaul clan was brought into the Horde by Megs Dreadshredder. Shortly after the Third War, the Stonemaul clan joined the New Horde after the half-ogre Rexxar killed their chieftain. The ogres eventually accompanied the Old Horde through the Dark Portal to Azeroth to participate in the First and Second Wars.įollowing the Second War, the ogre clans scattered across Azeroth. Over the years, ogre influence gradually waned across the world as they were slowly surpassed by their orc descendants and the draenei as the dominant races of the world. Eventually, the ogre hero Gog the Gronnslayer showed that it was possible to kill the gronn, which both ogres and ogron revered as godlike beings, and he became the founder of the Gorian Empire that would come to rule much of Draenor for centuries until the arrival of the draenei. Descendants of the various stone giants known as Breakers, the ogres were originally enslaved by their progenitors, the ogron. Ogres are large, brutish humanoids of notable strength native to Draenor, which they refer to as Dawgar ("the Known Earth" in their native language). If you would share our power with slaves, would let them mold the earth, you are no ogre.” Its vastness is tamed, its greatness revealed, only because we master it as the Forgers did.
