Jhared the Red

The story of Jhared the Red is a story that every Ogre hears at least once in his lifetime, a fact that shows its importance in a culture that normally creates only stories of individual achievement.

When Jhared was born, he was a runt, meaning that he was far smaller and weaker than the rest of his litter. To add to this disgrace, Jhared was covered in thick red hair from head to toe, causing his fater Huhgr to cast him out into the cold, bitter snow of the mountains.

Against all odds, Jhared survived the first few hours, crawling himself through the snow and eventually standing up to stumble through the darkness. Eventually, he came to the den a Sabretusk female, which had just given birth to a litter of her own. Whether it was his hairy appearance or anything else, the Sabretusk adopted Jhared as one of her own whelps.

Over time, Jhared reached maturity and outgrew his adopted brother and sisters by far. One day, he threw his adoptive father from a cliff and took his place - the dominant male - in the pack. The red-haired Ogre with his pack of Sabretusks soon became well-known among the nearby Ogre tribes.

After several years, Jhared decided it was time to return to his tribe. When he arrived with the silent killing machines that were his adopted brothers and sisters, the tribe had just had a feast, and the Ogres all lay collapsed in the halls, sleeping after hours of devouring their prey. Jhared blocked the entry with a boulder, so that all of the halls was covered in darkness. He then began slaying his tribe, who, unlike him, were hampered by the missing light with the help of the Sabretusks. Jhared himself had learned to use smell as a form of orientation, which allowed him to find his way even in the darkness. He found his father and put out his eyes, playing with him, bringing shame to him until finally ripping his throat out and devouring his corpse.

Jhared had become the first Ogre Hunter, and to this day, his successors mimick him, taming Sabretusks or Rhinoxen (although their taming involves a lot less growing up with a pack and a lot more hitting their would-be pets with a club).
