LarekGreetings!
Playername
LarekMy name is Larek. Some call me Larek the Wayfarer, because of my voyages to many faraway lands.
Playertime
LarekUnfortunately I lost my watch some weeks ago when exploring the steppe and cataloguing the plant life.
Playerjob
LarekI like to think of myself as a discoverer and explorer of unknown regions and cultures. At the moment I'm acting as a kind of merchant. It is a convenient way to get {Vuzrog's} permission to live here for a time without getting eaten.
PlayerVuzrog
LarekHe's the {chieftain} of the {Bloody Skulls} tribe and, to be honest, he is the exemplary ogre: big, strong, always hungry, blunt and not very clever. ...
LarekBut as he is the strongest indivdual of this tribe, he also is the big boss, as the ogres often call the chieftain.
Playerchieftain
LarekThe strongest male ogre is a tribe's chieftain. For the {Bloody Skulls} this is {Vuzrog}, at least at the moment. But {Ghorza} seems to expect that a younger ogre will challenge him soon.
PlayerBloody Skulls
LarekThat's the tribe living in this village. They are one of the settled clans, whilst others are still nomadic. In addition, they seem to be the only tribe so far that tolerates humans. ...
LarekMainly because the {shaman} sees a {benefit} in our presence.
PlayerGhorza
LarekGhorza is the tribe's {shaman}. I have the impression that she is a rather unusual ogress, because she's interested in humans not only in the sense of a tasty snack. She seems to think that we could be useful to her and the tribe.
Playershaman
LarekThe shaman is very important for an ogre tribe. Often, but not always, the shaman is an elder ogress. She cares for the spiritual welfare of the tribe, appeases the spirits, blesses newborn ogre-children and the like. ...
LarekThis tribe's shaman is {Ghorza}.
Playerbenefit
LarekOgres value food above all things. They like meat or beer, but as I found out they also adore sweets! They're downright scoffing them. But they don't know how to make cookies or candy. And at this point the humans come in. ...
LarekAs far as I'm concerned, I survive amongst the ogres because I play the role of a merchant here. I provide them with sweets, they let me live here and pursue my studies about {Krailos}.
PlayerKrailos
LarekKrailos is this vast grassland and steppe you are standing in, and is mainly populated by {ogres}. The region is located north of {Oramond}, bordered by high mountains to the south and a wild sea to the east, west and north. ...
LarekIt's a {secluded} area, but it seems to has a very interesting {history}.
Playerogres
LarekThe ogres are simple, warlike people, more interested in a fight and good {food} than in politics. Ogres like conflict; they are impulsive and quick to anger. They prefer to solve conflicts through combat rather than words. ...
LarekThey are distrustful towards strangers like us and tend to welcome them with avoidance in the best case. Lately yet, the {Bloody Skulls} tribe here has shown a sort of {interest} in trade with other peoples.
Playerfood
LarekAn honorable death is not the highest purpose in an ogre's life, but rather a fulfilled life, which primarily means enough food and a comfortable hut. Food carries great weight in ogre life and {society}.
Playersociety
LarekThe ogres are a tribal people, divided into several different clans. Leader of a tribe is usually the strongest male ogre. The {chieftain} is supported by an ogre-shaman. If the {shaman} is female, the two are often, but not necessarily, a couple.
Playerinterest

PlayerOramond
LarekOramond lies south of here, separated from Krailos by a high mountain chain. It's very different from the ogre lands, but also dangerous. Many minotaurs live there.
Playersecluded
LarekKrailos is surrounded by many underwater shelves. They make it difficult for ships to reach the coast unscathed. At the rugged shores you may find the one or other shipwreck.
Playerhistory
LarekOnce a sophisticated, but peaceful grassland empire existed on this peninsula. It was noted for its advanced architecture and philosophy. ...
LarekBut it was destroyed hundreds of years ago through social breakdown, caused by their interest in {forbidden} things. ...
LarekIn this empire the ogres were not quite slaves, but rather a kind of deprived lower class. Yet it seems they were the only ones to survive the downfall of this ancient realm, perhaps simply because of their physical strength.
Playerforbidden
LarekThe humans who lived here so long ago worshipped the suns of our world. Not only the calm and considerate {Suon} but also his reckless and wild sister {Fafnar}. As far as I found out, the veneration of these two aspects was in balance for a long time. ...
LarekBut the the adherents to the wild goddess Fafnar prevailed and the destructive nature of their goddess eventually caused the downfall of this ancient empire.
PlayerSuon
LarekSuon is one of the two suns of our world, considered as one of the gods, the son of {Fardos}, by many. Some call him the Life-Bringing Sun and believe that he observes creation with love and blesses us with warmth and growth. ...
LarekOthers guess he is just the misguided sibling of {Fafnar} and that his light turns pale compared to her brightness.
PlayerFafnar
LarekFafnar is one of the two suns of our world, considered as one of the gods, the daughter of {Fardos}, by many. Some call her the Scorching Sun and believe that she observes creation with hate and jealousy. ...
LarekBut others think she's the stronger of the two suns, that {Suon}'s light turns pale compared to her brightness.
PlayerFardos
LarekFardos is considered the creator, often called the Great Observer. Many people believe that it was his doing that we possess divine souls.
PlayerMugruu
LarekHe's one of the ogres living here. He studied me for a while and now seems to imitate my behavior. He dabbles in trading now, buying different things. ...
LarekYou could talk to him but I suppose, he'll not make a trade with you without the {chieftain}'s permission.
PlayerNibble
LarekHe's a goblin who is being kept as a slave by the chieftain {Vuzrog}. Poor little fellow.
Playergoblins
LarekThere are quite a few goblins living here in Krailos. I suppose they originally arrived as stowaways on the ships that now and then burst at Krailos' rocky shores. Most of these goblins are kept as slaves by the ogres. ...
LarekAs are other smaller races like dworcs or coryms.
PlayerGrubokk
LarekHe's strong but narrow-minded even by ogre standards. He's not often here in the village so I have seen him just a few times. And it's better that way for I assume he's cruel and sadistic.
PlayerKaya
LarekAh, yes, the charming Kaya is actually my research assistant. She's very proficient in Tibia's classical languages and myths. However, as we can't leave the village at the moment she is helping me with my private {bank} that I'm currently establishing.
Playerbank
LarekYes, of course. Simply lift the grille in my tent and walk down. Ask {Kaya} if you want to withdraw or deposit some money.
Playertrade
LarekOf course, just browse through my wares.
