"Oh look over there - little ogres!" - a less-than-experienced adventurer who shortly discovered to his everlasting surprise that the ogres were larger, had better eyesight and could run faster, than he expected.

Ogres on Thain are widespread, finding employment with a good many of the cave-dwelling creatures on the Island; wherever you find goblins, you will probably find ogres. They also wander the roads at will, and may be met almost anywhere from Drakamyre and the Grey Mountains to the south coast. They range in size from large to enormous, from strong to overpoweringly tough, and from completely stupid to fairly intelligent.
However, their main home seems to be a series of chambers which ages ago were built deep into the earth on the southern slopes of Hammersong Mountain, near to the Cobblewall Inn. These are known as the Forgotten Halls and they are crawling with large, strong and intelligent ogres, some of whom can cast powerful magic; adventurers report that the Halls are in fact more or less controlled by a fire giant named Gipherus who is bound there by some powerful spell, and who has strengthened but enslaved the ogres to his will. From time to time, adventurers also claim to have found powerful magical scrolls and other artifacts in the Halls, and the ogres' weapons are highly-valued for their size and brute power.
