the only thing I'd say is make the storming of the hideout be a hush hush thing that the guards don't know about but the lord does. Because otherwise the solders can and will roll cannons down the streets to deal with this thing if they are able to run away Edit: nevermind, thought you said city, not town. any Empire town would have some things to deal with heavy hitters, but thats a ballista mounted on a wall, not cannons which can be moved

[@skeith1543]

Hm? I'm pretty sure the Dragon Ogres struck their deal cause they were dying out. The Dragons ruled the old World, and were mortal enemies of the Dragon Ogres. THe dragons are equal in age to the Dragon Ogres, and likely there are emperor dragons who match the age of the the oldest Dragon Ogres. It was said the Dragons ruled entire *Empires* and held court and battle among themselves not unlike the Kings of the Old World. Hence why the Dragon Ogres needed the Dark Gods to give them immortality. Heck the dragons even have the same Dreamscape, It's implied in some of the High Elf books that all the dragons are connected in the dreamworld and that they relish going there, so much so that mountains grow over them.

It would be interesting if they never rot, since they are in fact permanent, so why would their body’s decay and be removed?

[@DzinkyDzink]

They are used as everlasting materials for weapons and whatnot, therefore little remains are preserved.

[@tomasmisek5598]

Their remains seem to not rot, a chunk of dragon ogre claw has been sitting out in the elements for millenia in a village in the empire and it hasn't deteriorated one bit and in AOS, they forge their weapons out of their own scales

[@MajorSquiggles]

I'm already confused. So the Gods did lie to them. They were promised they would never die, which they did. They were promised they would never stop growing and yet the current day Dragon Ogres are supposed to be much smaller than the first of their kind. That's also a really weird gift from Tzeentch. Of all the gods he'd be the one to grant them complete stagnation and decay.

Inmortality as described here would include either never dying or reincarnating if they did for some reason died, possibly also regeneration, seems that the end result mentioned here Arch was making them "Eternal" not "Inmortal" as unable to die.
