+====== Introduction ======
+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 [[Gods#Oghma|Oghma]], a deity commonly known as the //goddess of stone and metals// and acting as the sometimes-literal mother of the clade in [[Huergar|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]].

+====== Origin ======
+Though only a page of what appears to be a much greater [[Sheevra|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."
