[QUOTE="Nadaka, post: 3110989, member: 14651"] Funny thing. In my campain "Orcs" are essentially "scaled down minotaurs". Physically they are large and brutish humanoids with long faces and small vestigial horns. They are well known for thier strength and stubborness. Long ago when man first encountered a pair of wandering orcs he asked the question "What are you?" The orcs interpereted this to mean "What kind of creature are you?" and they responded simply: "Tauric". Over the years this story was handed down the human generations until the wording changed ever so slightly to "Two Orc", the name has stuck ever since. The primary Tauric god is Tourus, a god of earth, strength and chaos. Thier primary homeland is the world of Torus, that is literally a torus. There is another story that links Tourus with Torus and ties the enmity between orcs and elves to the events of the mythical Gods War, but that is a story for another time. Note that the Orcs have a racial class that essentially allows them to become paragons of thier race, to transform into true minotaur. I'll have to dig it up sometime. [/QUOTE]
