Re: Bookstorm

Noel Gayle: by humans and orcs and dem, gimme a better idea
michael webster: Humans, Gobbo, Orcs and Hobgobbos will be the main races
Noel Gayle: ok
Noel Gayle: what are the realtions like
michael webster: Not sure yet
michael webster: mutual distrust and hatred would suite the setting
Noel Gayle: yeah
Noel Gayle: but then, how do they live?
michael webster: I was thinking that the war would have a huge impact on current relations
Noel Gayle: yeah
Noel Gayle: definitely
michael webster: Like in medevil times
michael webster: Feudal society
Noel Gayle: ....ahhhh
michael webster: lords and serfs
Noel Gayle: ahhh
michael webster: with the mobnster races having slaves as well
Noel Gayle: scattered pockets of power
michael webster: yeah
Noel Gayle: makes sense
michael webster: maybe a one king here and there
Noel Gayle: ....self appointed king, not really recognised outside of his jurisdiction, you mean
Noel Gayle: you read a game of thrones, and the sequels...?
Noel Gayle: quick question
Noel Gayle: did you stop selling herbal life products?
Noel Gayle: and why?
Noel Gayle: cause I'm thinking of looking into it...?
Noel Gayle: but back to the setting
Noel Gayle: so, its a feudal society
Noel Gayle: with orc, human, goblins and hobgoblins
Noel Gayle: being the most visible races
Noel Gayle: all others are in hiding
Noel Gayle: any idea on who these other races are
Noel Gayle: elves I know should be there
Noel Gayle: and I vote for fae
michael webster: yeah I think, with Eddar Stark
Noel Gayle: yesah
Noel Gayle: just using it as a reference for a low magic setting, that devolved into a feudal setting
michael webster: Noel Gayle: ....self appointed king, not really recognised outside of his jurisdiction, you mean: Yeah
michael webster: Yeah All races in the books we have are there
