The Trolls

The Orkh-Ogh are virtually indistinguishable to the Orkh-Oghr. They share the same physiology and physical appearance (except that the Orgh-Oghr are generally pinkish in skin colors and the Orkh-Ogh are more greenish). Legend has it that they originally were united under one King, who recieved Twin Sons[1] from his most beloved wife. One was named Ogh and the other Oghr. Both grew to magnificent princes. Yet only one could eventually climb upon the Throne. One was beloved by his father and the other hated. The story is quite common and scholars believe it to be essentially true. Two Oghr seperate Oght Kingdomes resulted and another confusing Orkh race/ species name added. After the Orkh-Ogh joined the Union, they wanted to make history on their won and be a "recognizeable Union member" and not just "another Oghr species". Searching for a different name, the representative of Nilfeheim Sif Arnske-Olafson suggested Trolls as the Oghr had similarities to these mythical creatures of her culture. So it comes that the Orkh-Ogh are know known as the Trolls. Taking the Troll theme to great extremes by adopting an old norse language and giving themselves variation of Norse giant and Troll names.
