I agree. I've thought a little into the matter and because they look battle ready in the picture, I was thinking they could be a group of rebels, possibly leading a rebellion against the orcs.However, I do think we should establish our group's goal before working the worldbuilding. The only thing we have got so far is that they are elves and they have awesome bikes.
That could work. It'd still be a dystopic society so yes, that'd work out. (:Sounds cool. I'm guessing the Sheolred Empire? They are trying to take over the former Elvish lands after all.
Humans, maybe? Just for trade and stuff? I only plan for it to be the elves that rebel and attack the orcs so.Noice. So our rag tag group of peeps are trying to gather a force to repel the Sheolred Empire from the Elvish lands. Sounds simple enough. Who's our allies?
A large group of rebels composed of elves? I'm not trying to imply that only the four in the picture would be going up against the orcs in combat. They'd be more like the leaders of the rebellion.Hmm. Might bring up some complications, but we can work on that. The Sheolred Empire still honors their agreement with the humans, so they actually won't fight against humans. Much drama to ensue if they figure out humans are helping the elves fight against them. So how exactly would our group stop the Empire though? I don't imagine that we're that badass that we can take on their entire army. I was thinking that what we could do is try to instigate a sort of civil war amongst the orcs, and that's where our strike team comes in and tries to take out the leaders so our allies could take over and change how things are ran in the Sheolred Empire.
Gods... Would you mind expanding your explanation on that a little? Do you mean like "is there a god they worship" or possibly, "are there humans who are deities and live in this world" sort of thing? I don't plan to make "Gods" as species in this futuristic setting, if that's what you're trying to convey to me. I honestly don't think we'll be diving much into the religious aspect for a society such as this one, since things like technology and landscape, as well as factions, and all that good stuff is more important than religion.Oh, kay. Now that we have an idea of what we're doing, we should get to lore building for the elves. Not really my field of interest however, so I'll rely on you guys for that. Oh, one important question though: Are there gods in this world, and if so, how often do they get involved with their worshipers?
Ah, that's what you mean. Well, at this point in time, I really don't know. I want to focus on other things first.Well, it's just as I mentioned in some of the orc fluffs, they have a "Creator", the Goddess Xia. She's dead. Than they had a new one, the Demon Lord Karnage. The orcs killed him. I was just wondering if the elves, humans, or dwarves have something similar that may get involved later in the story. I mean, I don't intend to turn this into a holy war or anything, but the orcs would boast "We killed a god" when possible. Also just as a handy source of immense magical powers, as the Xia Shards are also things that may get some use later in the story (At least I intend for my character to come across it).
Though if the other races have a religion, that would be nice to know too.
