: The thing is, though, that the Oghre weren't THAT
: impressive when the Trow conquered them--and far as we
: know, the Ghôls were pretty much the same nomadic
: scavengers we saw in TWA. So it's a little weird if
: the Trow thought man was a "simple beast" in
: the late Age of Reason but considered both the Ghôls
: and the Oghres worth dealing with.
I always figured that the Trow didn't care about the Oghres until the latter started insulting the former. The Trow seem to enslave when lesser species start stirring around. Humans probably didn't do enough stirring to grab the Trow's attention.
And the strange alliance between the Trow and the Ghôls was in my understanding due to the Ghôls' relationship with the dark gods; they know the names of some ancient dieties that no doubt concerned the Trow for some reason, at one time or another.
: I think by this time the Trow DID notice humans, but
: since they'd already done most of their conquering and
: were busy managing slaves and building temples, they
: didn't care about us much.
Yeah I agree that they knew about humans, but "we" wisely kept to "ourselves" so the Trow didn't give two clay craps.
