[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8765023, member: 6790260"] A good orc culture? One that follows the ideals of 4e Kord, honors spirits/ancestors, and values clan and family without being judgmental. Strength is what matters, but you don't show your strength by hurting the weak--[I]anyone[/I] can do that. You show your strength by achieving great things, by using your strength to lead, by overcoming challenges and pushing the bounds of what is possible. Be like the storm: the speed of lightning, the power of thunder, the howl of the wind--but also the nurturing rain. Use your strength with honor. Respect from ancestors and spirits would be high as well. The world is a beautiful thing, it should be protected, nurtured, honored, and respected. Those who came before you have carved the path, it is your responsibility to walk it, and then to carve a new path for those who will follow after you. The land gave you life; return life to the land when you can. Blood is important. Care for those of your blood. Embrace the joy of new blood mingling with your own, should that blood prove worthy. Avenge wrongs committed against your blood as though they were against you, but hold your blood to the standard of honor you hold yourself to as well. If you cannot rely on your family by blood, build a family by choice. If you prefer, you could simplify it to "Klingons, except their beloved cultural hero is Uncle Iroh from [I]Avatar: the Last Airbende[/I]r." [/QUOTE]
