Held back only by the brave forces of white supremacy, holding the line for centuries. That, and being complete fucking nonsense.

Always easiest to defend when you're not under attack, I guess. Job well done, everyone. 😂

Huh, that still leaves me confused as to the point of the skeet and all the attention it drew, then. Like it nobody's trying to shut down the scene, why mount a defense?

I've been working... On your heart, SQL. Love me, dammit.

I think that's why I was so confused. Fantasy/sci-fi is almost exhaustingly rife with bad guys doin bad things. If it's a specific romantasy thing as someone else suggested tho, that make sense, as I'm not plugged in to that.

Ohhh, okay. Is there some kind of pushback in that scene against villainous protagonists? Ongoing friction? (Well, I imagine there's a lot of friction in erotica, but you get what I mean)

THE MUSIC OF THE NIIOOOIGHT

Josh, I love you. Not in spite of the fact that these are the ravings of a madman, but because of it.

You, uh, you feeling okay SQL?

Others, however, insist they were themselves created by the Voidspawn. As to why a Voidspawn would create a fully functioning species, that's impossible to discern. They're difficult to understand at the best of times.

All Orcs show up as Void under alignment divination. Thus, they provoke a lot of suspicion -- not helped by the fact that they themselves cannot agree on where they came from. Different tribes have different origin myths, but broadly, some claim they were Children of Gaia caught in the corruption.

The soldiers who were sent in discovered that there were already people living in the region who had been suffering the effects of Void exposure long term, taking it in the air, the water, and the food. These are the Orcs. They are shaped by surviving in truly horrifying conditions.

The orcs are the inhabitants of a region known as the Inchoa, where the first Voidspawn impacted after Gaia's Death. No one understood the danger yet, so the Voidspawn was allowed to fester unchecked for almost a century. Eventually the situation was realized, and massive invasion launched.

What should I infer from your silence? :P

One of the great blessings the Goddess provides is the ability to have children with any line. So half-elves, half-orcs, and such are viewed as divine providence and always welcome among the caravans. They often act as liaisons with the culture of their "other half".

Oh! Sorry. No, humans are relatively put together. They are grouped into trade caravans that constantly roam the world, and worship the Goddess of Love and Commerce. They are the main source of international trade, and also act as informal postal service and diplomatic couriers.
