[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8022470, member: 6801228"] Sure, you could. I don't quite see it as colonial though. A quick aside, I work as a substitute teacher and my mother runs a daycare. Children? Children are terrible. I have seen countless times when a small child hits another child, and when asked... they don't know why they did it. So, we tell them no, that hitting is bad. The orc society I proposed would never do that. They wouldn't instill that in their kids. But, a fantasy elven society? They likely would. But the curse of war idea is interesting. I just... man I get tired of it being the fault of evil gods. It removes a bit of agency from them that you don't see happen with the other races. Elves don't have a "curse of art" that Corellon imposes on them to make them artists. It just seems weird to me that it is only evil gods and they only make their people violent and it only ever seems to happen to the races that are villianous raiders. oooh, I like that. I prefer racial pantheons and have been trying to think of reasons not to mix the worship too much. This is a perfect avenue to take, that they literally can't derive power from the other gods. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
