The Oghmir clade is a Jotun or Stone Folk subgroup. The thread that ties together the races bound into this clade is a link to Oghma, a deity commonly known as the goddess of stone and metals and acting as the sometimes-literal mother of the clade in Huérgar origin stories and mythology.

The Oghmir are known to live noticeably longer than Humans and other short-lived clades, but still fall short of the longevity associated with the Alvarin.

Though only a page of what appears to be a much greater Sheevran work on the Huérgar survived The Irruption, it makes remarkable claims about and attempts to explain in some limited detail the founding of the Oghmir clade through interactions with the Huérgar themselves:

"Although a few Húergar scholars hold the great Motsoghmir, son of Oghma, as the sole creator of the Oghmir
clade, the majority consort to the theory of a shared human ancestry: It is said that by the word of Oghma,
Motsoghmir's shī (the word for soul, which in this case also seems to be some kind of holy breath),
transformed a cave-dwelling, primitive human tribe into the first Oghmir damtum°.

Of course, this damtum also came complete with the first Ersu and Eristu, king and queen, and from this līpu
the entire Oghmir clade sprang forth. This is known as the Māsh-Êru, meaning the first awakening, or the
becoming. As usual I questioned the rather unintelligible story, fishing for details on the shī, Motsoghmir,
and the underlying reason for this remarkable event - and as usual my questions were met with nonsensical
excerpts from songs and dusty old tomes°°.

On a side note, it is at least satisfying to be able to freely catechize these matters without fear of
infringing on any doctrines or breaking any laws. It seems very few purely intellectual or theological
matters are considered ikkubu in the Húergar society, unless they have to do with Dāmu, such as the Suluhhu
or Surpu rituals, or the mysteries of Āsipūtu. Regarding practical matters though, needless to say I have
never encountered a culture so dispositioned to secrecy."
