Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 1210335" data-attributes="member: 571">My orcs are humans. With a bit of wolf. It has to do with the kikihehj and their method of 'converting' other sophonts into kikihehj. And with immune systems that proved to be better than the kikihehj expected.So picture folks who look human until you get a closer look. The orcs of Ki look like people with a touch of wolf. In addition, their behavior is very wolf-life. They form packs, only the alpha pair breed, and they are territorial, though the last can take different forms.Most are pastoralists, herding sheep and cattle. A few are agriculturalists, the crops they grow going to feed the herds they live off of.The most advanced sociologically are the Unicorn Orcs. Their base social unit is the pack. Packs come together into bands, bands into tribes, tribes into nations, and the five nations into the Confederacy. They control an area of around 2 million square miles known as the Unicorn Plains, traveling with their herds and trading with the human towns and villages that dot the waterways of the plains. With the exception of scattered villages the rest of Ki's orcs live in packs on marginal land and wilderness. Unlike the Unicorn orcs they can't seem to get organized enough to form bands, much less tribes and nations. As most any Ki orc will tell you, the Unicorn Orcs weren't orcs to begin with, but humans from another world cursed because of a great betrayal on their part. Which explains a lot about them.Halflings, on the other hand, are bonobos with a touch of human. All things considered most of Ki's inhabitants would sooner deal with an orc than with a halfling. It's not that Ki halflings are mean or anything like that, it's just that they're so distractable.</blockquote>
