Description
Known to the Byzantii (and the Romanii before them) as the Pictii & renowned for their fierce savagery, the Albainn resisted their invasions for hundreds of years & resist those of others still, for many yet covet the lands in the north, wild & bleak as they are. The brutal Norse raid the coasts of Alba with increasing ferocity, as they do most lands, but the Fomoraic & the Érainn & the Anglecynn pose a greater threat to the seven kingdoms of Alba, as their kings well know. It is the reason Fortriu & Cait & Circin & the other descendants of Cruthin call upon their ancient pacts with greater frequency now more than ever, pacts that ensure the Oghu stones they revere awaken with primeval might & the Oghur & the Oghurüc & the Oghurithne descend from the mountains to turn back the hordes of their enemies.
The Giants of old suffered much at the hands of men, not least their exile to the places men dare not go, where lie forces & beings unknown to the world, things that crawled or flew undisturbed until the giants came & were then changed by their meeting. In time came the oghurüc, deviant giants with foul dispositions & a single eye that many believe can see into the soul, hateful creatures that revere their gods through the suffering of others. Magágg is one such, an oghurüc of wild nature that descends into the world of men to appease his gods, sacrificing the undefiled thus found upon menhirs of rune-bound stone within circles of others, the oghu circles that the Albainn revere as pathways to the underworld. Life begets life, & through sacrifice the oghurüc believe they are atoning for the sins of their own lives & thus eventually return to the forms they once had. Gods, however, are nothing if not fickle, & thus far the oghurüc remain the vile creatures they are.
