The wars between the Goblins and Dwarfs had just begun
when Golgfag and his Ogre band emerged out of the northern darkness. Golgfag
was the chief of the Rutdrogg clan, and he saw the impending war as a
good opportunity to gather loot and fresh meat. The Rutdroggs shambled
out of their mountain homes and straight into the employ of Bogdan Legbreak,
the chief of the Goblins of the northern Misty Mountains.
After a limited period of service Golgfag had taken part
in several early actions of the war. The Rutdroggs proved themselves to
be excellent troops, if somewhat undisciplined. One night after an especially
long and intense drinking bout Glogfag and Bogdan, who had never liked
each other anyway, fell to arguing. Within moments the whole Regiment
was up and blood was flowing freely. By morning Golgfag's Regiment had
fought its way out of the Goblin compound and taken to the woods.
Golgfag soon found employ again, however, this time
fighting for the Dwarfs against his former allies. In this capacity he
and his champion Grat'hud led a Dwarf party into the Goblin's stronghold
and slew Bogdan in a bitter fight. Golgfag later established himself as
one of the most adventurous leaders of the war and collected a great deal
of gold, loot and captives before returning to the frozen north.

| BATTLECRY |
The Ogre language
in bestial in the extreme, and not easily translated. A phonetic transcription
would be something like, 'Gruugh aghhhhh aghhhh waaaaaa.' Experts
claim to recognise some elements and offer the following broken translation.
'Remove yourselves from your current physical location, failure to
comply with our request could result in severe physical discomfort
of a kind which could seriously curtail your social life.' Recent
scholarship has shed new light on this strange cry. It now appears
to mean, 'I get so angry when I don't have a cooked breakfast.' |

The most popular stiory
about Golgfag concerns the time that he was captured by the Dwarfs.
He was imprisoned in the famous Black Hole of Raven's Hold, along
with several dozen assorted goblinoids. Crammed into a tiny space,
with no air and hardly enough room to breath, the Dwarfs expected
the occupants to die. However when they opened teh door the following
morning the Dwarf jailers were aghast to see Golgfag chewing on the
remains of the last Goblin. The cell was otherwise empty, although
there was good deal of gore and blood on the floor. The Dwarf leader
was so awed by this feat that he ordered Golgfag to be taken a long,
long way away and released. |
| SHIELD |
Each Ogre carries
a large round shield, this is strapped to his back in combat so as
to enable him to swing the mighty war mace. |
| UNIFORMS |
Rutdroggs have
long tunics down to the knee, with heavy breeches and boots. Over
their tunics they wear mail armour, and over their backs they have
long furry cloaks. Their skin coloration is swarthy, with longish
black or grey hair. |
