[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8532061, member: 6855114"] In a world where gods are actually meddling in the affairs of mortals? It matches perfectly. Yeah. The original skin color of the orcs was pink, with a pig head. Somewhere along the line this got change to match popular computer game and we got what we have now. As for the Drow, it is a point that I give you. They should have been albinos as they are under the earth (or at least a grayish color closer to white). I do think that thoughts were put into it. But not much. Remember that at the time, RP was in its infancy. The additions of gods and culture (or lack of) appeared later. Damn genetics. The Goddess Lolth is meddling with the drow society on a second per second basis through her clergy. She makes sure that any drow not "following" the edicts of chaos and evil are put to the test. And those who fail... become driders. Gruumsh does about the same on a smaller scale as he is not the only God of his pantheon and yet, all of his pantheons follow his edicts. It was and still is a satire of extreme fascism. The irony is that be it Orks, The Empire or the Elves, they are all bad societies. Only the Tyranids are doing exactly what they should do without claiming to be paragons of Justice and righteousness. (Orks should be fighting the chaos demons and their forces but end up fighting just about everybody because of their battle lust.) Fully agree on that one. [/QUOTE]
