Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kai Lord" data-source="post: 8814632" data-attributes="member: 3570">Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman weigh in on why there are no orcs or half-orcs native to Krynn:[URL unfurl="true"]https://dragonlancenexus.com/why-are-there-no-orcs-in-krynn/?fbclid=IwAR12p3vpAOqcY2kWCUmi1dnmF_sfIuig_eQWRdeY5pMLmGIwfCQsk2LbrwM[/URL]"Dragonlance has few limitations on what races can be played in the setting, but two limitations stand out above all – the orc and half-orc. Many theories exist as to why this limitation is in place, so I decided to go straight to the source – Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.Generally, it has been assumed that orcs don’t exist because their most well-known role, that of troops of a Dark Lord, has been replaced by draconians. That’s part of it, but there’s more.This raised a question. Why not simply reskin the orc to fill another role?Margaret added one other point that I had not considered.With Tracy singing in his office, the conversation came to a close. I wanted to say thank you to Margaret and Tracy for taking the time to speak with me and to set the record straight."</blockquote>
