Great CaveThe legends of the Half Ogres state that their race emerged long ago from the Great Cave that served as a womb to them in Tyrra herself. Some find it fitting that in death their spirits go to a graveyard that resembles nothing more than a great cavern with no end and no opening to the world above. Despite this light pours into the cavern reflected downward though crystalline veins which run through the ceilings of the great vaults. The cavern is rough-hewn and natural, the Half Ogres’ sense of nature seems perfectly in tune to those spirits residing here. They grow crops and tend beasts and exist at one with their place. Deep in the cave there is said to be a single entity of enormous size and power called the Jotun. The Half Ogres can hear his whispers on the breeze, they tell plants how to grow and direct the Great Cave itself. The spirits within the Great Cave hold that when each spirit is ready to move on they travel to the Jotun and he speaks of them and they become one with his words with nature. All that is unnatural is removed from the Great Cave by the Jotun and his whispers. |
