| Ogardin the Warmonger
In the time of the rule of the Great-Ancestor Suxen, brother of Phelgas the Uncaring, many a great war were waged between the forces of the Light and the Shadow whilst Phelgas strived to take over the Tribes that Suxen ruled with a honourable thumb. Disgusted by the way he dealt with the world, through his twisted view, Phelgas sought to destroy for the sake of destruction. It was this behaviour that earnt him his name, Uncaring, and his eternal damnation in the Void.
But that tale is for another time.
Today I preach about Ogardin. Ogardin served under Suxen during these ancient times as his Kardonir, the first named such. As the Kardonir, much like today, Ogardin was at ease on the field of bloody battle. In tune with his morality, the ancient fought and upheld many of the tenets we do to this day; no beast or enemy felt anything but death in his presence, his allies never felt endangered, his injuries never kept him from smiting his foes and needless to say, this great pinnacle of honour felt no taint of cowardice.
Known soon to be the Warmonger of his Tribe, the Kardonir traversed the plains of Arathi with his kin to keep the presence of Phelgas at bay from the smaller tribes. He preached the archaic tenets that they upheld to refrain from ultimate chaos, he preached the terms of rule that Suxen acted with and was highly regarded for his honest tongue throughout the land.
This was until the dark ages gripped the land. Suxen died, alongside his malevolent brother and in a plea for survival the conjurers and necromancers continued the work of their maker in order to stay alive and not hunted after. As you may know, Hannil the Fisherman worked to retain the humanity in these monstrous felons. Ogardin wasn't so forgiving.
In the light of Suxen's untimely death, Ogardin was stripped of his rank and presented a new one. Dank'thar. A Warlord like no other, nicknamed Ogardin the Warmonger he spent his days crushing the forces of the Void that lashed out at the humane, at the Light.
In time old age grasped the Warmonger, and the role of Dank'thar was granted to a younger as the Elder withered, barely able to grasp his own axe. Past his days of war, Ogardin was granted the honourable rank of Dekaru in light of his life's achievements. Pleased by this, Ogardin strived to physical peak once more, to don his armour, to grip his axe and to charge into the enemy head first in the name of Suxen's Light.
And it was with a great thud, and surrounded by the corpses of the fallen enemy, did Ogardin die with a smile on his face for he knew the afterlife would be kind to the epitome of Arathorian Warmongering. | |
