I would be fine with an orcish barbarian (it's off the base class list, but the intent there is mainly because I don't think a lot of barbarian concepts would work well in this world). The idea of a nomadic orc or half-orc barbarian would be interesting. "Harkening back to their ancient ways."Since you mentioned fauna, that reminded me I should post some of the artwork I've been inspired by for this. Below is a bit. I'll add some more from another source if I can get around to it.As far as elans go:The elan race is split into two groups. One is ancient Elans from the precursor days before the world was sundered. These Elans are more typical to the expanded psionics handbook. The few of these that still live are VERY alien, VERY outcast from normal society. Few know what they are, or where they come from, but they will find it difficult to settle in with nomads or citizens. They have trouble fitting in even with the newer younger Elans, as they come from a completely different world altogether.The other elan group is the modern Elans. These come from special artificial wombs designed to churn them out in specific numbers to fill rolls within their city states. Most city states have at least a few who usually serve in leadership positions, or as direct underlings to their God Kings. There are even those that were created to serve specifically as concubines, because some particularly unscrupulous God Kings keep huge harems of many races to serve as both sacrifices and lovers. A few notable city states (Invidia, Acedia, and Luxuria) are populated by a majority of Elans (around 93%). These particular city states rely entirely on artificial womb-created populations to fuel their armies. As such, these Elans are cursed to serve an uncaring and spiteful God King. If they die, they will just increase "production." If they rebel, they will be killed and "replaced." They have little hope, and find little individuality within their city walls. This of course is also one of the reasons that there are elan cults to old gods, because they are looking somewhere else for salvation. There are also some elan nomads, usually either the old elans, or young elans that were "thrown out" or escaped from their god kings city state.</blockquote>
