Homebrew Ogier Race Details

Ogier Ferocity

Ogier take life slowly, often taking days or weeks to reach a decision on anything of importance. They consider the other races to be hasty and reckless. While they are generally considered to be slow moving, thoughtful and wise people, Ogier have a strong reputation for making incredible warriors. During the third age, Ogier in the Westlands withdrew from human society, taking a pacifist approach to what they considered to be human wars. When the war of the shadow broke out, Ogier revealed their incredible martial ability, forming the backbone of many elite military units. Even those without martial training proved to be highly capable, wielding great axes and clubs. In the fourth age, Ogier outside the steddings who don't work in stonemasonry make their way as elite mercenaries or forming dangerous military units in every aspect of the military. Often, they are recruited as private guards.

Tree Singing

Ogier have an innate connection to the natural world. In ages long past, many Ogier possessed the ability to rapidly grow trees and crops by singing the Tree Song. While this ability has faded to obscurity among them, when a Tree Singer is discovered among the Ogier, he or she is often held in high esteem by other ogier, and even many of the other races. Tree Singers therefore are often kept from the battlefield and hold high posts within Ogier societ
