About this episode

This episode explores the savage Mountains of Mourn, the homeland of the Ogres, detailing their struggles for survival against various threats.

In this week’s Warhammer Old World lore dive, we explore the savage Mountains of Mourn, homeland of the Ogres, where survival means constant conflict against colossal beasts, rival tribes, and the deadly environment itself. We follow hunting parties battling mammoths, Rhinoxen, and legendary cave-dwelling monsters while Gnoblar swarms scrape by under Ogre rule. The mountains themselves are ever-changing, warped by Chaos with roaming glaciers, frost volcanoes, and peaks believed to be living entities that devour the unwary. The journey then traces the perilous Ivory Road before revealing the fate of the ancient Skytitan giants, whose sky-castle civilization was destroyed when migrating Ogres overwhelmed and ultimately consumed them, leaving only ruins and bones beneath the frozen peaks.
