This book is part of the Warhammer universe dealing with the Ogre Kingdom. The Ogre Kingdoms lie within the desolate Mountains of Mourn. The Kingdoms are a large collection of dictatorships, each ruled by its own Tyrant, who is the invariably the largest and most brutish and domineering of all the Ogres he rules over. The boundaries of an individual kingdom extend as far as the ruling Tyrant can see.
