Antakin says that Antak wanted to make another world and asked his sons Fadean and
Galeaatap to help. Antak made a ball of rock that became earth, he then spat into
it to create the oceans and lake after which he created life. He put his infant
son, Agranela on it to rule orcs in war. Fadean became one of the orcs and teached
love of Antaks creations while Galeaatap became a judge to the orcs, settling their
affairs so they could be in peace. After their mortal lives ended they watched from
above as orcs recreated their roles and every century antak would one of his new
children to earth to unite orcs and rule them.
Elves believe that Irkan ruled reality in the moon with its elven kingdom. But then
realised that the elves got corrupted and because of that created earth to sort the
pure out. All elves live under its 18 rules to be reunited in the moon.
1-Lunar elves mastered magic in the presence of the semi-literal ball of magic
Irkan is. Their kingdom in the moon was mostly dependent on said magic and it
basically turned into some steampunk magi-tech bullshit. These creations were said
to be incomprehensible to somebody not raised to it and it to be honest is.
2,3-Agranela was the personification of war making him able to predict most
outcomes of battles through just some basic information making his tactics near
incomprehensible. Nearly the same with galeaatap.
4- Orcs and Elves have interacted mostly through war due to the conquestialist
nature of the ladder. But even though this setback through sieges and basic
exposure through traders and anything really have let some wiggle room with
culture, like an exchange of some minor deities, and dragon egg wine coming from
orcs to elves.
4,5- Ortchan Empire has had a very rough past with Karklayan Elves as they are the
country with the longest border with them making them the most targeted of many
nations Karklayan has attacked. But with the orcish nations of Mantarsh and Barlak
they have been either allies due to a common enemy or just the international
equivalent of acquaintances. The same exchange of firebrand wine has been made also
with the electric sword dawned by many high ranking people of the Orthic military
has been gifted and then mostly put in some national museum of the two because they
have no idea how it works and don't want to get their high-general fried.
5-The arsh is like the orcish equivalent of shaq if he ate a Dave bautista. Also
with like manta black skin (compared to the darker skin color of humans. The hue of
the arsh tends to be around a really dark sub-saharan african) there is no
mistaking the son of God.
6-As the God of change you would probably expect Galmora to be like the other ones
of his domain (tzeentch, mehrunes dagon) but he just tends to just sit in Mars,
fool around with the geography and then nuke it or something with coming to earth
being a somewhat niche hobby of his where he just comes in, either kills a king or
starts a cult, then vanishes without a trace, many people don't like him
(deservedly) but he isn't one to put much of your trust over either. Any worshipper
of him is either a celestial monk (worshipper of any and all gods equally, okay I
may have stolen it from 40k) or just some drunk that got visited by him in his good
mood.
7-Frogs and toads look like antak, not the other way around. He planted all
amphibians in the last day of creating his last day of animals mostly because he
found it funny to make some mini versions of him. Most Antakinur (orcish word for
"the abiders of the rules of antak") consider frogs important as they were created
directly in antaks image but they are in no way holy.
8-basically, humans with slightly longer arms stumbled to Irkan and woke up in
wonderland
1- Elves were kicked out of the moon Billions of years ago around the dawn of
civilization. Their technology regressed greatly and they lived alongside humans
for the rest of history.
2-There is no lying about being the arsh. THEY LOOK LIKE NOTHING NATURAL
3- Emperor Clandestine (who is another can of worms I can open in your request) was
killed while taking a bath by Galmora after a long feud (no biggie, just like a
competition) with Alpharis. The reason he chose this time was because Clandestines
armor was blessed by Alpharis to not be damaged by anything wordly.
Lion frog, a Calf sized frog which is just really fucking cute. It is used as a
kind of trophy-pet for royalty.
Anthelex, Calcified remains of the mushroom with the same name that is ground up
and mixed with Wonder-Sap to make Alex, an orcish drug to put into pools that may
cause homosexual behavior after frequent high-dosage.
1.1-He was actually not the worst except for some paranoia of being assasinsted
off-armor and the very aggressive conquests on elves. The reason he got the armor
buff was because Alpharis saw some human actually leading the other in a way some
might call clever and went "good boy" basically.
1.2- He knew there was a rivalry between Alpharis and Galmora but didn't think it
would end up with being daggered in the chest.
1.3Aplharis basically went "oh man Galmora I will, carpet bomb any geological
formation in Mars you might like" which is basically like a friend punching the
other very hard.
1.4 He had 3 sons who tore the emperor apart all blaming the others of regicide.
The civil War lasted 24 years due to the gigantic size of orthcan empire at the
time.
1.5 after his death the magic of the armor went away and it was damaged beyond
recognition by an earthquake while residing at the Royal museum.
2-They don't have the same respect they have to other life forms against elves and
humans as they know that they are not creations of Antak. But even still they value
other orcs lives more than theyd gain from war they are one of the more diplomatic
races. In trade, any country likes the money it brings but orc trading culture
dictates the most outrageous bargains ever making them rather dreaded around
traders.
Karlklayan, The zealous group of Irkan worshippers that believe Irkan send them to
earth for them to extend their glory further.
Sanctus Manus, a pre-apocalypse organization from the literal Roman Empire that has
no real land but is within many countries as a controlling force. They also try to
restore their glory but by collecting valuable artifacts and sponsoring a lot of
research
The Kaas, a very influential group of traders with no discernible belief other
than more liberal economies. They aren't even an overtly elven organization. It's
just that their chief is elven and have an elven majority. The small nation of
Kaafer is considered as a kaa nation even though it has no claim to be one
4 -no. Crayst is like the devil. Nobody worships the devil or at least depict him
in the way Christians do.
5- Sanctus Manus try and have as much of a monopoly in magic as they can. Magic
items are mostly either on their hands or somebody they sponsor. One of the only
bad things about them
1.1- nothing too extraordinary. They are birds though. 4 legs 2 wings around the
size of an elephant on average.
1.2- There are some revered dragons but they are mostly thought of mostly as very
big animals. Their feathers and meat are seen as very luxurious and their eggs are
told to "taste like heaven"
1.3 Orcs kinda like them while the others think of them as like people think of
lions.
2.1- Orcs are no mozart but there are some talented artists coming out of them.
Most hominid instruments are either very hard or just impossible for them to use.
Because of this there are a lot of orc instruments. A common one is the fadrun
which is mostly translated to banger. It basically is a giant drum on a system like
a baby Walker where the drummer gets in and just jams. Another one is the garta
which is a theremin basically. Garta is mostly used for more personal occasions
like a wedding or ball. A special art style mostly used by orcish artists is yulaa-
tara which is made by painting a giant Boulder with nothing but your own hands
mostly in depictions of nature. It is very beautiful if the artist is skilled
enough and many pieces shine in random natural landmark around orcish areas.
3-Its just that the sanctus Manus tries to keep magical resources for members. And
they are rather pacifist only buying out or discouraging trade with competitors.
Also you asked to close of a question before
4- Orthic Mythology is rather accurate. It says that anybody who devotes themselves
to a God will submit their soul to them. If you worship Alpharis you go to his
realm, Jupiter, etc, etc. Elves believe that believer elves are to be reunited in
the moon with their monarch while the non-believers are to be left on earth to die.
And since orcish mythology nearly comes from the source it gives a very robust
guide for all after lives. There is like only one bad one which is Galmora
because... I mean it is Galmora.
1.1- Orcish architecture is no special with a lot of ponds and a lot of fly murals
that are very compact but don't blend in with nature.
1.2- The closest thing is Angla-Gargantala, the capital of Mantarsh that is dubbed
the Boulder City. It is build inside a very round looking mountain.
2.1- Not much really, Irkan is the progenitor and controller of all magic and
doesn't do such things
2-2 All arsh have an encyclopedic knowledge of biology, geography, medicine and
much more. A lot of them have cured entire plagues singlehandedly
3- All orcs are raised comunally and all children are analyzed by their local
elders committee. When they "come of age" 17 years after their hatching. The
committee then chooses a topic for the initiation and constructs it. So an orc that
likes cooking will have to make a beef Wellington or something while one that likes
animals will tame a dragon.
4-Elves just got shot out of the moon completely naked. Only the technology on the
moon survive and is visible but no fragment remains on earth.
What would if an average non magic User fought a magic user in your world
There kinda are two types of magic. One is "Chaneling" which is the ability to
"channel" the apparent force every object has. If the non-user is fighting against
a normal practitioner he'd probably win as chanelling is mostly used for slight
nudges or similar things in common use. A master conduit would tear the non-user to
atoms though. The second type of magic is called magic. It is granted to nearly
anybody by the God irkan and has actual classic spells like fireball or flames. If
the non-user is against a common practitioner of magic he'd probably lose due to
the fact that magic is just too powerful for somebody without special preparation
to fight against it effectively.
Worldbuilding an oligarchy that has its members choose by different methods that
have 684 different layers of different ruling systems because of religious
guidelines.
Inspired by the following prompt, how are hybrids or mix-breeds viewed in your
world(s)?
Well, elves and humans are compatible but the off-spring is already very unlikely
to survive let alone reach adult-hood. Such affairs are seen as EXTREMELY unholy.
Are the humans and other fantastical beings in your universe a fruit of evolution
or did you go with something like adam and eve where god created the first
humanoids or dragons and then stuff happened and so forth?
Orcs are just the God of nature going "Haha what if I made small mes but with
hands". While hominids were the God of curiosity and research put in some rats in
the world and watched them like a elementary schooler growing beans on cotton. Also
Octopi were made because The incomprehensible God of knowledge is weird. How
shocking. And gorgons and Enopts were made by the god of fire and rivalry making
two little dude groups to make fight.
[Abhumans]
Abhumans were created around the beggining of The ending war by the human faction
whose name was lost to history. They were created to fill the niches normal humans
couldn't in the battlefield. How this was done was to harvest genetic material of
civillians and combine or edit them in ways considered benefitial. These mutants
were made to win the war quickly and were intended to be destroyed after the "human
victory". But as you might predict. It all went to shit when elves marched to the
place that would be outskirts of Barlimth and the human faction descended
underground, setting an apocalyptic device details of which are unknown. When the
human population descended, the abhumans didn't go with them. This move was made
part because the city's architecture wasn't designed for the varied physiology of
the abhumans and part because the genes of abhumans being mixed with "pure" humans
was thought to be rather dangerous long term. After abhumans were abandoned most of
them became extinct due to some of their niches being too specific for survival.
Some of these abhuman species were revived by doing the procedure again when the
need arised but unfortunately the need hasn't arised for a lot of different
abhumans.
[Types of Abhumans]
-Homo Sanguisuga, reffered colloquially as Vampires after ancient folklore are a
type of abhuman engineered to be supersoldiers for urban warfare. Their physiology
differs to homo sapiens sapiens is increased stamina, saliva containing more
mucilage, minor uv sensitivity and an abnormally long tongue. Vampires have the
ability to digest human flesh much more easily and tend to be able to think much
faster than homo sapiens sapiens. throughout history -like all abhumans- Vampires
have been systemically discriminated against. One big example is the rule of
Emperor Asmadar who famously ordered the burning of everybody thought to be
vampires. After his death at the age of 36, vampires were close to extinction.
