Yeah the Legion were the only guys tough enough to survive the freezing winter fighting myrmidon and half naked giants in the snow up in the mountains, while having volcanoes erupt on you and fighting your own men, before running in to enemy territory, getting trapped inside an aincient artifact, traveling the desert, running through undead-infested swamps to knock out The Watcher with the bone fragments of his arm before running into the dessert and (most of them) killing themselves corageously (or stupidly) in front of a horde of undead so large that you cannot see one end to the other. I think hardass is an understatement lol. Of course the Myth II soulblighter guys are wussies. After 60 years of peace, prosperity and rebuilding they get laid the smackdown by ugly brown guys in loin cloths, and obsenely large pigs.
Actually, i beleive the Oghre rebellion starts 4 years after the game begins, and an enemy of our enemy is our friend, so thats why i think the Oghre are the light's ally. Or the Oghre are the Forest Giant's dead spirits mb??? That is would explain the forest giant's hatred of the trow and the trow's metal, and the forest giant's hatred of metal is mb why the trow abandoned it, as one last gesture to the spirits of the dead.....
