Good Video: Fake Orcs

Green bodybuilder elves that get mistaken for orcs are at best, "Aurics." They are closer to feral wasteland elves. We also call them "war elves." Elves ostracized them so they disliked them ever since, hence the animosity. If anything, calling these bodybuilder war elves "orcs" is an insult (and real orcs and them fight until the last one alive). They don't like being called "elves" either.

Best to call them by their native word for "our kind." Whatever you want that to be is fine. I use Auric, or the Auricaii. This also shows how they get easily confused. Which angers them. Don't do that.

That is where the confusion came from.

That and World of Warcraft.

I know what an orc is, and those ain't it.

  1. The video is private. Amazing. Did someone get upset? The point was, in the old school, orcs were a lot different than the "pop" World of Warcraft-style orcs of today. It is a good, valid point and also history.

  2. A new version is updated, and it looks like it has new content - and the message remains the same. This may have been put out early. In any case, this is EXCELLENT! World of Warcraft Orcs are not Orcs in D&D. Not by a longshot.

  3. Ah, this was taken down - the art used ran into a permission issue. Understandable; glad to see it back with the same great message.
