Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ratchis" data-source="post: 2945345" data-attributes="member: 5004">The ole RBDM let me know about this question.Basically this idea came to me b/c I had based orc culture on the more brutal ceremonies of hunter-gatherer peoples.Here are some of the reasons:1) Ratchis was reared in this environment and does not reject his orc heritage (ie: scarification and pain in ritual and even pain for punishment even if that is sub-concious and mostly reserved for himself) even if he rejects their evil ways.2) Nephthys has strength in her portfolio and Ratchis always saw strength as coming from adversity or pain with his godess' strength coming from her servitude to her husband, Set.3) Nephthys IS the goddess of freedom and a big part of that freedom as reflected in her friars is their freedom to venerate her in any way that feels right to them and does not betray her core teachings.4) Ratchis feels a lot of guilt for his birth, those he has watched suffer, those who have died at his side, etc.Combine all of these and whatever else I was thinking at the time and that is how I got to that point.Hope that helps.</blockquote>
