[QUOTE="Slit518, post: 7285985, member: 6803713"] Here is a bit of lore you can try out: The early goblins and orcs were a once beautiful, advanced sort of races. They were able to build amazing constructs that defy conception. The other races jealous at the superior craftsmanship of the goblin and orcs banded together, forming a secret society built on greed, envy, and malice. The leaders of men, dwarf, elf, and gnome bonded together in secret, discussing the plans to topple the goblins and orcs. First their society was small in numbers, just the leaders with their immediate families. Suddenly, it grew, with other high ranking noble leaders and their families. The propaganda turned to conspiracy, the conspiracy to irrational hate. It was there, under Mount Shelimbom the leading societies conspired in secret, where they laid down their ultimate plans of eradication. It was the eve of the Thostosph festival, the most sacred holiday to that of the goblins and orcs that the armies struck. They knew that on this most sacred day the goblins and orcs bring no tools of warring, it was forbidden, that is why they chose to strike this day. It was a massacre, the goblins and orcs did not stand a chance. They lived in peace, and paid the price. That was untold ages ago, long buried in the annals of history, where barely a mortal alive, even the elves of long ago remember the events that happened that day. And the goblins and orcs you see before you today, they are twisted forms of their former selves. They were left to die, living through years of slavery, malnourishment, disease, hardship, hatred, fighting, this mutated their being to the very core, turning them into the vile creatures you see before you today. They were warped, body, mind, and soul. And now it is built in their DNA, they are built for war against the dwarfs, elves, gnomes, and humans. [/QUOTE]
