Gorgog the Giantslayer, born Gog, was the founder of Gorerike. He broke the bodies of the giants, opened their bones and ate their marrow to prove they were not gods, and raised up their skeletons so others could see his victory. He built his hall too large for any family to fill, and soon his home was an empire.
History
Grog, like other primordial ogres, was initially a slave to the giants. However, his labor under a storm giant led him to a fateful encounter with Tromokratis, the titan residing within Toriel's sea. This meeting served as Grog's introduction to the fundamentals of arcane magic. Intrigued by the ogre's potential, the titan offered Grog power in exchange for information about the god's creations, the giants.
Grog started to assemble followers thanks to his newfound powers, as he shared the secret of magic he had learned. With his followers, he started to rebel, killing the very giants who thought of him as a slave.
With his followers, Gog did rebel against the giants, whom the ogres revered and feared as gods. Gog did not only kill one giant with his magic, but several. By his fifth, stories of his deeds were known to all captive ogres., erasing their fear of their master.
Freed from their giant oppressors, they established their own empire, led by Grog who proclaimed himself "Gorgrog," the King of Ogres. The capital city was renamed "Goria," signifying the throne of the king, and this marked the birth of the Trolerike.
