Transcript
In the Ring Mountains of Taladas, the ogres don't consider themselves monsters—they consider themselves the victims of a divine theft. Meet the Abaqua, or the "First People." They live in a brutal land of glaciers and lava flows where the sand is sharp enough to strip flesh. Their society is built on a sacred fire that must never go out. If the Hoorac, or firetender, fails his duty? His life is forfeit. Why are they so grim? Because they believe they were once beautiful and wise, until the Irda stole their gifts and hid them across the world. While Ansalon ogres are often just mindless brutes, the Abaqua have a tragic creation myth and a political structure their neighbors take very seriously. Are they heroes or villains? Check out the full deep dive on the Abaqua now!
