Ogor Mawtribes – Ironblaster

The titanic artillery pieces known as Ironblasters dwarf conventional cannons. The earliest examples were scavenged from the remains of a Ghyranite empire that hovered over the Scabrous Sprawl – these were the creations of the Sky- Titans, a race of gargants who made their home upon the metalith known as the Great Green Torc. Ogor legend has it that an ancient mawtribe climbed up to the Torc from the swampy lands below and declared war on the gargants they found there. The cannons of the Sky-Titans roared their wrath, their owners wading in with blade and fist, but in the end, it was not enough. One by one, they were toppled and devoured by those ancient ogors in a war above the clouds. The ogors have found that loading Ironblasters with conventional cannonballs – by the dozen, if possible – yields impressive results, with pillars of flame shooting from each discharge as heavy metal shot thunders in a devastating column of destruction. The gunners who crew these outrageous weapons are usually deaf, and so they watch like a hawk for their moment to discharge their prized artillery. Any who decide to attack the cannon before it can be reloaded are charged in turn by a badtempered rhinox and a roaring, indignant ogor.
