[QUOTE="Xarlen, post: 328294, member: 1060"] I was playing a little homegame of Iron DM with a buddy (But we were doing it 'Set up how these classes got together). Basicly, I had a Half-orc paladin who was taken in by a church after the paladins of the order killed his parents. Well, after his training, his first mission was to escort this mddle-aged rogue to the next city, for judgement. As it turns out, the Father worked for the church, and took 'spoils of war' out on a female orc... The irony is, the church deals with it's responsibilities with the Half-orc, that was caused from the father... Anyways, I can think of a lot. Orcs destroy a human barbarian tribe. Since the women are not warriors, the orcs show a little bit of mercy (or perverse interest) in killing all the males, and claiming the women. They then integrade the women into their tribes; these female humans are like a higher class, above Orc women. Concubines, perhaps even hunters. The human women aren't Raped, perse, but go along with it, because they're treated a little better then the human men treated them (Second class citizens). Equally, I could see a tribe of Amazon women who have Orc slaves. The orcs are their cannon fodder, their servants. They're stronger then human men, and Stupider, and even though they're ugly, they... have greatswords ;). The half-orc males would either be killed, used as a higher class 'male' to the orcs (Or perhaps they have some blood in them making half-orc sorcerors), while the female half-orcs would be regarded as strong sisters.
