[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2343651, member: 2067"] They'll be petitioners. I believe the petitioner template is OGC, and I think it's in the SRD, but I could be wrong on that.... From the MotP, the two realms of the goblin and orc war deities are now seperate, though they were once together, and now they launch invasions of each other accross the void. Their realms are free of the usual Law alignment on Acheron. The important thing to note about the goblin/orc war, like all wars on Acheron, is that it is entirely pointless. No progress can be made, no goals can be met, no victories truly won and no looses truly lost. It is an eternal stalemate of blade-on-blade action. I'd depict the armies as ants coming from a nest, or bees defending a hive, or other insectile references. They are warriors, defined by war, with a ponitless existence, and they are well aware of it. That's the torment on Acheron: obligation, without a reason to get behind. You must do it, even though doing it accomplishes nothing. You do it because you are told to. You are told to because the people higher up are told to. And the highest ones simply delight in this bloodshed and combat, and don't want to make progress -- they are most unhappy when the war is over, and they are at their proudest in the melieu of horrors and pains that warfare causes.
