Spoilers: Mercenary reputation and the contract campaign; no contract outcome.
The mercenary who named the trade
More tales are told about Golgfag Maneater than about any other ogre alive, and he tells a great many of them himself. The introduction calls him one of the most successful ogre mercenaries. His renown led other ogre mercenaries to take the title Maneaters, so the reputation was in place before that kind of sellsword was a familiar sight across the world.
He is a weathered veteran who has fought across continents. He takes a job when the price is right. Loyalty lasts only as long as the deal. He is boisterous, and he is a famous drinker of Bugman's ale. On the battlefield he is an anti-infantry fighter with a pistol shot, a name that precedes him, and that thirst.
Mercenary Contracts
Golgfag – Omens of Destruction unlocks The Maneaters. The campaign is contracts for client factions. Points come from aggression inside a time limit. The payout can include Meat, Maneater Banners, and items from the client's culture. Before signing, read the enemies, the distance, and the deadline.
That is a different ogre campaign from Greasus, who spends Treasury as Overtyrant, and from Skrag, who keeps Offerings to the Great Maw active. All three still use camps, Meat, and Ogre Bulls. Golgfag's reason to march is the client's war, and the reason to stop is the end of the bargain. A contract the player completes is pay. It is not a chapter of the tales he tells about himself.
The Maneaters and Bragg
Golgfag's Maneaters are the mercenary band from the mountains of the Ogre Kingdoms, after wealth, glory, and food. In the game that band is the faction. Bragg the Gutsman is the legendary hero in the same pack: a loner with a bladed hook, an exile, and a leather hood. He joins an ogre army through a mission. He is a fighter of large targets, not a second mercenary lord.
The other two ogre lords remain available from the original Ogre Kingdoms pack. Choosing Golgfag is choosing the employer of the moment. The Ironblaster still needs a lane. The Bulls still need room to charge. The lord's pistol is one shot in that larger fight, aimed after the line has something to hit.
