New Race: the Khinasi Ogre

[Solmyr]

The below is a short idea partially inspired by the ogres of Al-Qadim. Feel free to comment or add to it.

Khinasi ogre

Khinasi ogres are more intelligent and "civilized" than their Anuirean cousins. They generally live in tribes in mountainous or desert regions, where they trade with passing merchants and adventurers. A few ogres even live in the bigger cities, such as Ariya, where they are generally used as guards. Most Khinasi ogres have Chaotic Neutral alignment and worship Khirdai, or sometimes Leira.

I think it might be better if you made this creation of yours the
"Basarji Ogre" as ogres living in the Khinasi region are still Cerilian
in origin, and thus will probably live and act like other Cerilian
ogres.

Yes, but Al-Qadim ogres are Torilian in origin, yet they are very different from their Faerunian cousins. I did intend for these ogres to be living in the Khinasi region, and be more civilized than the Anuirean ogres (even if they are all Cerilian). After all, Anuireans and Vos are of the same origin, yet the former are more civilized :)
