It's known that Ogres come from Broodmothers who were once female kossith.
It's also known that the first Qunari arrived on Thedas on 6:30 Steel.
So, I was wondering why Ogres existed in Thedas before the Arrival of the Qunari?
Since the 4th Blight ended at 5:20 Exalted, and in the opening cutscene in DAO (who shows the 4th Blight) you can actually see Ogres?
Why does it say in the Ogre Codex (who is optained when Hawke fights the Ogre in the beginning of DA2, or by the Warden in the end of the Tower of Ishal), which you get before the 5th Blight has really begun, that Ogres normally "only appear during a Blight" and "Up to a hundred of these creatures can accompany a darkspawn horde at any one time during a Blight"? How did the Historicians know of this if there were no Blight after the Qunari Arrival?
And if the Darkspawn already had captured female kossith, and turned the into Broodmothers, long before the Qunari arrived in Thedas, then how did the Darkspawn got to the Qunari homeland and how did the Ogres got to Thedas?
Unless the Darkspawn haven't build ships able to cross an ocean or found an underground tunnel that linked continents, how did this happened?
I really would appreceate some feedback (especially from BIOWARE)

Since this question arises again, a few points:
1) The Ogres look akin to the way we originally intended the Qunari to look. It was the Qunari who initially changed, not the Ogres. The new Qunari appearance is, in fact, closer to our original vision for them.
2) The "allies" I referred to way back in the day are ghouls. Ogres are not ghouls.
3) Ogres have indeed appeared in previous Blights, prior to the arrival of the Qunari at Par Vollen. This is not a mistake. I am not, however, going to give you the answer that explains this-- yet. If anyone wishes to prefer to think of this as a plot-hole until then, feel free. The phrase "plot-hole" gets thrown around a lot these days, so why should it be any different here?
