Slavery. That is the lot of your people. To of all beings the hated Ogres. Besides Dragons, the only race more physically powerful and imposing as your own.
Your parents were slaves as were their parents and before them as well. Still, stories are told of freedom from shackles. Before and in the future.
Then, the Ogres were approached it is said by a Human Warlord. His scheme, to rid the lands of the nearby Empire of Falthana. You wonder why they do not attack the Humans of Dravinaar but as a slave you have learned not to question such things just think them.
The war against Falthana goes well. The Bakali have joined the cause of this evil Warlord. In the late hours of night the barriers of invasion mystically disappear moved by what you cannot imagine or are burned, by Wizard's fire? Before you can discover the mystery you are moved off of the frontlines.
The flank must be protected. But the Ogre who covers the flank, your slave master, is too aggressive, they seek to cross the Falthana Bay and strike at the Druids of the Worldscape Forest lest they give aid to the humans of Falthana. But the attack backfires as wind and wave rise up against the invaders swamping the boats.
You survive after all what Minotaur does not swim?! You find yourself on the rocky shores of the Forest free???
