Copying relevant stuff over from the old thread, which has hit auto-sage. tl;dr, idea for an Orc nation set after the fall of the Dark Lord that was their puppetmaster, and now Orcs are looking for direction, which they find in humanity.
Let's say Orcs are made to be evil. Their god is evil. Their purpose is evil.
But they have free will. They can choose not to be evil. They can strive to do good. Obviously they probably have less choice while good old Evilor is staring down at them and telling them to rape nunneries and pillage puppies, but.. what if this is set after the death of Evillor? Suddenly there's this big horde of Orcs blinking dumbfounded in the light and.. well, free for the first time in the existence of their entire species. Free of their Creator's corruption, they begin to rebuild what was lost during the war and to make amends for whatever they were made to do. They live distinct from other races due to stigma from the war, and so form cities. Never having really had to think before, they don't know how to form societies, so they mimic human and elven ways, although in a cruder, more strength-oriented fashion.
Basically, after the fall of Psuedo-Sauron, orcs want to be humans.

Anonymous 05/23/10(Sun)22:50 No.10015654So, we have Orcs that are warlike in nature but desperately clinging on the civilisation. They have no ruling instinct and little in the way of self determination, relying primarily on halfbreeds to tell them what to do and humans to tell them what to think. Violence is still in their nature, outlet in productive means so as to keep their fledgling society from shaking itself apart. Interbreeding with humans is actively encouraged and Orcishness is... not shameful, but considered something they are working to elevate themselves from, like man's bestial nature. |

Anonymous 05/23/10(Sun)23:01 No.10015818I can see the humans basically seeing the Orcs like redheaded stepbrothers; heart's in the right place, but fuck are they more trouble than they're worth. Always needing you to hold their goddamned hand. Priests and diplomats sent to Orc lands are done so as punishment as much as anything. Of course, the snoo snoo isn't too bad. |

Anonymous 05/23/10(Sun)23:38 No.10016315A long, long time ago; Great Giants were the dominant species. They were a shamanistic people who lived off the land. One day they began to discover that magical storms could be used as portals to another "realm", and many of them decided to set out and settle. Most of them lead to other parts of the planet, but some to other planets int he solar system. One of these portals dropped a group of Giants on the Moon or a massive planet. Generations of adapting to the lower oxygen levels and icy world made them much smaller, stockier and Grey in appearance instead of their original green and brown. |
