In my home game, hell and abyss are "closer" and kurtlemack is currently Yeenoghu's whipping boy. Many gnoll lairs have smaller kobold warrens honeycombing them. My players, who can clear out a gnoll den without casualty, are still scared to death to crawl around in the cramped kobold's tunnels.  Gnolls have 2 other sub types IMG, the Feral [dire ape stats and size, but monstous humaniod and a few more int points Mini: mage knight werebear] and gnoll lord [minotaur phys. stats more or less. Mini; Reaper Lupine's].Orcs: The orcish race is sinking into degeneracy as it celebrates its victory on the stump of the elven life tree. The orcs won the  battle against the elves a few centuries back, who lost thier god in the ordeal. However all the LE [I AM using the original version] Grumush got from Corelon's demise was a hunk of chaos 'taint' [shifted to NE]. Some of Grumsh's people still hold to dicipline [favored class fighter and effectively hobgoblins] but many are nothing better than degenerate barbarians. BTW "goblins" are orc children [makes for fun RP] Ever fecund, the orc's blood can mix with many things, humansand  ogres being the most common better half.Other races that are main contenders for the primary racesHumans, dwarves, skaven and Lizardmen [with skinks as county cousins]There are a few elves left in the world, mostly in hiding since there is an easy to use high level spell that can let the caster live a bit longer, that uses an elf's soul as a "material" component, Nope, life ain't fair. The elves more or less lost the war with the orcs because a wizard kingdom's insane rulers [with the help of  god of magic and dimensions with questionable motives] tried to do a global version of this spell to make all the other creatures unaging. The wizards were trying to fulfill a prophecy about causing Death to die. The Elf god's retribution took the form of a massive meteor that crashed the ceramony and  more or less destroyed the capitol city of the magic kingdom. Alas the magic god's potency was enough to make sure the spell still caused heavy elf casualties. The city's remains are an adapted Mordheim setting. The elf god, having used a huge portion of hir power to call forth the retribution, while metephisicly battleing Gruumsh, knew defeat was eminent and willed Hir divine potences to the fae court.  unrelated flavor textAnd on a pedestal in the defeated gnoll priest's lair, there rest a peculiar statuette of unwholesome caricature directly in front of a noxiously scented stain on the cavern floor. The foot tall statue appears to be an unnaturally gaunt gnoll wielding a 3-balled flail. The figurine seems to have almost a ghoul like quality to its shape and stance. But the most disquieting thing on the statue is that, if the string of gnawed skull trophies it wears; human, elf, dwarf and orc skulls, are in proportion to this creature, It would stand well over thrice the height of a man. A chill runs down your spine as you begin to wonder if that curious sounding final howl of the Gnoll priest was a petition to this Thing. The malignant feeling is compounded by what almost seems to be malice filled contempt within the unmoving visage of hunger it bears, which you would swear is focused solely upon you. </blockquote>
