Ogor Mawtribes – Firebelly

The flame-obsessed shamans known as Firebellies maintain that the true form of the Gulping God is the Sun-eater. It is said that during the Age of Myth, Gorkamorka reached up into the heavens and grabbed the Hyshian sun that loomed over Aqshy, cramming the glowing orb into his mouth. As he gulped it down, he felt its white-hot flames course through him and unleashed a great belch of molten fire. The Firebellies insist that this event birthed the lava rivers of Aqshy or, indeed, the Realm of Fire itself. Most ogors have brains enough not to argue with them for long, as being turned into a smouldering pile of ashes is bad for one’s health. A Firebelly makes it their business to eat the spiciest and most flammable of foodstuffs to kindle their volatile gut in order to channel the Sun-eater’s fury. They will walk through fire and devour molten slop to such an end, pushing through the resulting pain. In war, Firebellies are able to breathe great plumes of flame and manifest mantles of burning magic that scorch the flesh from foes. To witness a furious Firebelly in all of their splendour is to witness a true child of the inferno – and usually to burn to death soon afterwards.
