[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 2237123, member: 5885"] I voted for Warcraft, from what I've seen in WoW. I'm not familiar with other warcraft games/literature. My orcs are more brutish looking than pig-like. They are a muddy green or dusky brown, or more commonly a patchwork of the two. Black orcs (more gray than black) are rarely seen, and the birth of such a child is an omen of good fortune. Art and philosophy are of little importance in orcish culture, but not totally abandoned. Regulated pit-fighting is the entertainment/sport of choice for most orcs, and they have their own martial art which is used heavily in these matches. Non-orcs are almost unheard of in these fighting circuits. Orcs are bound by three stages of honor: Racial, Personal, and Familial. A slight on an orcs race will gain his ire. Even a perceived slight against the orc him/her self might call for combat (usually to first blood). A perceived slight against an orc's family will often elicit a challenge to combat (often to the death), or murder if the offender is not honorable enough to accept the challenge. Roughly three quarters of the worlds elves are slaves to the orcs, with most of them living in the cramped slums of the slave quarter in the orcish capitol city. A price being paid by the elves for their ancestors' arrogance in dealing so harshly with the orc tribes. [/QUOTE]
