[QUOTE="Dracomeander, post: 4058423, member: 20009"] Conrad's eyes sparkle at the turn the conversation has taken. Taking another large swig of ale, Conrad watches the banter around the room. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"War as a tool for the powerful to spread their influence is an unfortunate aspect of any culture I have encountered so far. Always you will find those with honeyed tongues and blind ambition who are willing to lead those who do not wish to think for themselves. Inevitably that ambition drives them to try to impose their will on someone who has ambitions of their own, and the conflict is born. Sometimes the conflict can be limited to just the guildhall. But when the conflict originates with those who lead tribes or nations, war is usually the result. "What we have to hope for is that when war results, something better emerges. The forge of war will reveal much about the character of its participants. The peoples who learn to work together and bolster each other find hidden strengths and often weather conflicts that greater numbers of disorganized foes shatter in. That so far has been the case with the orcs when they march. If the orcs ever get truly organized, then all the civilized peoples should tremble in fear. For an organized horde is something it will take all folk to withstand. No one people or nation I have seen thus far has the numbers or power to stop the orcs if they decide to act as a single organized force. Turn them to another direction, yes.
