[QUOTE="Redleg06, post: 415826, member: 7947"] Yeah, LN sounds about right. But you may want to consider their historical relationship with other races, that may or may not have an influence. Have they always been so secluded? Or were they driven to seclusion? Just a couple o thoughts. This is just FYI. I did something similiar with my orcs. I did a variation on a the Tolkein "Orcs Created in Mockery of Elves". Instead they were created by elves to be footsoldiers for a war (there is always a war) in which attrition was getting the better of the elves. What they created was a tougher, more fearless, one-track-minded race who's sole purpose is destruction. A major difference being they were created te be led / organized under some sort of militaristic system. Short version is over the millenia the Elves lost interest in / control of the orcs. Now that the demi-human races are returning to the world (they went away for many millenia, long story) the orcs are back too, but they are leaderless. I am leaning towards evil since their sole purpose is still destruction (basing that on the idea that life is inherently good, and it's destruction evil), but I cannot really decide which flavor of evil. These orcs are not stupid or simpletons, just single-minded in purpose. Sort of an unstopping, methodical juggernaught of destruction. [/QUOTE]
