Durang

The Durang were a tribe of raiding ogres somewhere in Faerûn. When Marrec was sixteen years old, their raids forced him into using his medusa gaze.

Activities
The Durang were a raiding tribe.

Possessions
The leader of the Durang carried a shirt made of flattened human skins, the faces of which were animated and capable of biting; he also bore a two-handed club, twenty feet in length, reinforced with both iron nails and the teeth of many beasts.

History
When Marrec joined the town militia at the age of sixteen, he fought the Durang in a raid on the village proper. Though they slew his adoptive brother Emmon, Marrec discovered his petrifying gaze while fighting; they retreated after seeing it in action. They made a second raid some time after; though Marrec had been banished from the village, he came to its aid together with his mentor, Thanial Selwander. The Durang leader personally led the raid this time around; the young man was forced to resort to his medusa gaze when his master was caught by the ogre chief. Though the ogre was petrified and his tribesmen retreated, Thanial Selwander was affected by the gaze too; after both of them fell over, their stone forms were shattered beyond recovery.

Notable Members
The Durang leader was an ogre about twice the size of his comrades, who could speak Common. He spoke with a foul, phlegmy tongue.
