That way I can respond to something and hopefully explain some of my reasoning to show I'm not a complete imbecile. ^^;;you said: "The same way slavery always works - it doesn't change just because the slaves are orcs instead of humans."Well, duh, I know that. ^^;;; But I thought that the orcs would be a much, much tougher group to keep in line that way, because they've shown that they CAN organize, despite tribal differences (tattered tribe); they're not some little wimps who got taken down because it was easy--they CAN fight (that's why they're a threat in the first place, yeah?); they're familiar with the land because of their more nomadic lifestyle, and so that makes running away easier (I think, anyway. wasn't that one of the reasons the three heroes couldn't get away, because they didn't know where to go from where they were, never having ventured far from Theralis?); and they're able fighters tending to the vines, crops and homes of Theralese who are away at war. I don't know that a single group of soliders would be able to keep down so many who were out to kill them in the first place.fighting it and fighting it: would that be the exception for the orcs? from what you've given us so far of orc culture, I'd say that mentality is more the rule. (that's how it seems to me, anyway, especially with the orc reaction to the fight during which athan landed that lethal bite on his captor.)anyway, that's enough outta me. ^^;;have fun in houston.</blockquote>
