Long before John Pork the world burned under the hooves of one tyrant—Gengus Ham, high warlord of the Oinkle Empire. Born from blood, prophecy, and pork, Ham forged a brutal dynasty across the scorched earth, enslaving panthers, rats, birdfolk, and any creature who dared defy the Empire of Snout. With his Bone Guard army at his command and the dark magic of the Bacon Priests behind him, Ham rises from obscure village runt to divine emperor. But as he conquers and consumes, an ancient curse stirs—one that threatens to tear apart his empire from within and haunt his descendants for generations. GENGUS HAM is a sweeping, blood-soaked epic of war, myth, tyranny, and the twisted birth of a legacy. It's the untold prequel to the John Pork saga—where power is carved in bone, and destiny smells faintly of smoked meat.
