It rose to power 845 years ago unifying the warring states after death of Hog Dynasty King with no recognized heir. The Fibor Dyansty expanded reuniting the shattered ogre nations fully a feet not seen since the legendary 6th dynasty. However this great task would spell the downfall of Fibor dynasty. For centuries after complete reunification the Fibor Dynasty would focus inward struggling to quell rebellions. The stabilization of realm would come at such a great price as the ogres ignored large continent to south. Looking inward for so long that only seventy years ago was the massive wooden fleet rallied. However a hurricane would shatter the backbone of Fibor strength forcing a humiliating surrender and becoming a vassal state. The boon of being a vassal was ability of rapid industrialization but only with great shame in the oldest generation. [b]Ancient History:[/b] As chronicled by ogre recorders of history. Long ago before the first metal had been forged the ogres existed as slaves. The greatest of the giants known as titans ruled supreme upon island of Tiagrav. So great were the titans they towered above even the forests of primal Tiagrav and their magics were terrible. It is claimed that the neighboring islands around Tiagrav were raised by the powerful magics commanded by the titans. Ogres were powerless to fight the titans for simple wood and stone weapons were worthless against these great giants. The blood of heroes would be born on Ember island. Legends have long forgotten this ones name but he was the first ogre to ever wield magic or so the legends say. The smallest of the titans lived upon Ember island and would be the first of his kind to die at hands of a ogre. Using the power of this magic the legendary hero would lift the severed head of the titan to the cheering freed ogres. From his heroic blood would be a lineage of heroes who would go forth wiping out the titans and all who sided with them. Only a single tribe of hill giant would see the wisdom of siding with ogres and side with them. It is recorded in legends with copper weapons the ogres were unstoppable and by the age of iron the last titan known titan drew breath. Bloodlines of heroes became the nobility who became kings. However the last titan would get to enjoy its long life due to treachery of the oni. Up in the north the elder titan was cared for by oni. Feeble in body but powerful in magic the great noble King of the 6th dynasty would slay the final titan. Foolish oni fought back but the glorious ogre empire would not sit idly by trying for centuries to capture the northern island. The oni were monsters in eyes of contemporary ogres but by the 8th dynasty outright extermination attempts were stopped.
