[QUOTE="fruitbane, post: 4732197, member: 83079"] In the tradition of Moorcock's Corum books... Fantasy adventure for demihuman characters - no humans! Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings, and the like have inhabited the world for millenium (may need to extend some racial age limits). Ages ago they exiled the foul, violent Orcs to the western continent, a land harsh and unforgiving, too brutal for the civilized races to inhabit. The Orcs were eventually largely forgotten except as boogeymen in children's tales. Only the Orcs thrived in their exile-home and evolved... into humans. Humans aren't distinctly evil, but they are violent and chaotic, and also uncouth and uncivilized. They are also smart enough to craft boats and cross the ocean. The elder races, the Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings, learn about the humans the hard way as their peaceful lives are shattered by human raids. The PCs consist of some of the first of their respective races to rediscover the ancient arts of combat and take up ancestral weapons in defense of their lands. A gathering of elders of the various races chooses the PCs to investigate, as a party, the source and motivations of these new savages and to, wherever possible, thwart their advance across relatively unspoiled lands.
