we
are a proud people. promised to be kings of all.
...the half-toll, or Olog'hai
is the result of an intermingling between humans
and trolls. outcasts of
all cities in times long past, they have worked their way
into the modern society
of the Realms through long battles, shifty buisness
and even heroics.
...the Olog'hai is as deadly
as it is hideous. though considerably smaller than
full-blood trolls, the Olog'hai
often stands well over eight feet in height and
carries over three hundred
pounds on its heavily-muscled frame.
...owing in part to the black
blood which courses through their heavy
veins, the heavily-scaled
skin of the Olog'hai ranges in color from a charcoal
grey to a deep, blackish
green. Olog'hai revel in the fright of their appearance,
often wearing their hair
in battle-braids and have no problem with flaunting
sick battle scars... emblazoning
themselves with brands and tattoos to
accentuate the effect.
...though naturally of low
wisdom, the race was sorcerously imbued with a
wicked intelligence and
the ability to see naturally in the darkness.
Olog'hai usually make poor
pure magic users, and suffer from an
unusually low dexterity.
yet their boundless energy and high intellect create
one of the most cunning
physical beasts of the Realms.
Olog'hai are all but immune
to most poisons.
...tribal dances and deadly
rituals round off nicely with the ancient
tradition of sharing battle
stories over a giant fire. the army of the
Olog'hai is watched and
ruled over by the warlord. the warlord sits
along side the magus, usually
an Olog'hai with a spell casting ability.
these two answer only to
the deities they worship and the Chief of
all Olog'hai. those seeking
service in the army must first become a
member of the Glar'kai,
or 'young warriors' and gain worth through
great deeds in battle or
heroics.
