[QUOTE="Yora, post: 8833389, member: 6670763"] I really quite do like the suggestion that someone made that Gruumsh is not just a distant creator god and mythological figure, but an active despot who really wants the claim of being lord over a powerful people of strong conquerors. No matter how many orcs have to die for his dream. We do have plenty of examples of purely mortal human dictators doing just that and somehow getting a large majority to be full on board or at least going along without protesting. Add to that an army of religious police shamans and the whole lunacy of it all becomes pretty realistic. We do see dissent in real countries. But if you have something like this going for thousands of years and hundreds of generations, and the eternal war with the hated mortal enemy is not just propaganda but nearly constant active warfare, then it becomes fairly plausible that barely anyone considers that society is total madness and pointless suffering. Dear Leader Kim Jong-Gruumsh. [/QUOTE]
