There are many creation myths.

Orthic mythology says that Alpharis and the other


gods created the earth and all life but Crayst, the god of unrighteousness tried
destroying it by encoveeing it in fire. Alpharis then found out while Crayst was
doing it and banished him from the sky to underground. And alpharis then saved one
man, Asdelius. He chose his bloodline to rule the world and created and gave them
great strength.

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.

4- It is seen by Antakinur a major accident to step on a frog or something but they


just value them, no worshipping or anything. Some general are known for having a
pet frog as a luck charm in their quarters.

5-Just as something very interesting, like an eclipse if it actually meant


something big and was rarer. Any magical institution is sure to look into it but as
Gods are nearly uncontestable in anything compared to mortals it is just either
"Galmora turned somebody inside out again" Or "Holy shit Antak is splitting the
continent in two"
6- Fire breather wine is something a trader would pass down generations. It is
worth like, Lichtenstein and orcs just use it as a hardener for celebratory booze.
Also some interesting items from both sides are:
Tri-Cooker, a magical machine that cooks something to great success only from a
description. Only cooking though, no star-trek shit

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.

Wonder-sap like aloe Vera sap but makes you high.

And Ebony wood

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.

3- In the present elves are split into 3 main factions.

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.

5- I can't really think about this that much

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.

1.3- See 1.1

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.

5- No, not really

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.

GIVE MY YOUR LORE IMMEDIATELY


You know how when anybody tries explaining 40k they start with the warp as a lot of
the things circle back there? Well my equivalent of such thins is how gods are
formed. When a star, planet or similar things are formed, it Acummulates a power.
Because of this after a while such beings develop a personality that can conduit
such power and effect things materially. If the personification of the power
believes it is dead the power still holds the object together but many things that
exist through the power being directed at them start deteriorating. Such happened
with fairies where their God died and they now look like they are fucking corpses.

Explain your magic system simply


It is a unknowing but willing trade with the God of magic/Literal moon Irkan where
you give him energy and he gives a variety of different shit.
(Big brain meme about ruling systems)

Worldbuilding an oligarchy that has its members choose by different methods that
have 684 different layers of different ruling systems because of religious
guidelines.

If a meteor were to be hurled at your world could anything stop it


A God would walk up to the asteroid which probably is another minor God and go
"what the fuck is wrong with you get the fuck away before I smite you"

What fashion trends dominate your world


Harem pants. They are surprisingly common around people near the equator

Are there chosen ones in your world


There are a lot of minor Gods becoming prophets and being send into earth but no
extraordinary power "destined" for mortals.

Why don't your magic users use guns


It is either too expensive or comparatively innefective against a fucking ball of
fire which they can summon rather easily. Most wizards have a dagger in case
nothing works out and the ones that use guns have them right alongside daggers as a
novelty mostly. If an easy to reload, fast firing easily potable gun was invented
it would be used more than most destructive magic due to the taxingness of all of
it.

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 there atheists in your world


There are some, but there is no real group as it is a really stupid idea and also,
majorly frowned upon.

How are your worlds vampires


They are a group of gene-spliced humans that merged with normal humans making every
human have a chance to have vampiric abilities which include: Having a really long,
dexterous tongue, being able suck things with that tongue, minor uv sensitivity,
being rather buffer, being a rather faster, being rather dexterous, growing giant
wings if exposed to severe magic.

What are some of your stupidest names in world building


A lot, an orcish instrument is translated to a "banger", an orcish portmanteau is a
Flusher, an emperor named his kid clandestine. FUCKING CLANDESTINE.

How do your con cultures view gender and sexuality


Ortchan empire is a rather bendy version of rather older gender roles. The
bendiness changes every time a new ruler gets in power. Karklayan empire is a lot
like this, add in the fact that they can't agree with anything. Orcs in general
don't really care about sexuality as it is not that big of a deal to them but
romantic love is rather free as orcs value each other a lot, enough to get over
things like this. Lastly kaafer and kamarat don't really care about sexuality or
gender as long as they get tax.

How is your moon like


It is a vast jungle with giant and tiny animals distorted for the entertainment of
irkan, the god of magic. Also elves used to live there, then irkan kicked them out
because it was too boring
Who are the villains of your world
There are some clearly bad sides and things that are against them but no actual
"good" guys. The best are orcs of barlak which event though have the thinnest
distribution of power and are a little less xenophobic than other governments with
the same system they still are very prone to eras of conquestalism and are very
zealous. And the bad guys are a little more clear are the karklayan elves. They
kill everything they don't like and their whole ideology is a big "No true
Scotsman" fallacy.

Were there any animals with mitary ranks in your world


Gangartalap. The frog that accompanied high general Gafdel-duran in his military
conquest against Karklayan Empire and survived. He had the rank of tararsh. The
commander of 10,000 soldiers. But the 10,000 soldiers he commands are the ones that
are exempt from service so that nobody is being commanded by a literal frog.

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.

What's a unique food in your world


Fried dragon. It is a billionare trap dish but can be done by a competent wizard.
It is downright addictive and one batch (dragon corpse) will feed your new
addiction for a month if you manage it well. It tastes like Korean chicken plus
crack.

[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.

-Homo Vindex, reffered colloquially as Harpies
