Hey, peeps! D-Wyrm here with a new challenge for you, with Netflix's surprisingly awesome series "The Dragon Prince"! Now don't get me wrong, it's a good series so far, I just thought it would be interesting if there was a third party in this war between humans and elves. An Orcish party
Dragon Prince: Of Kingdoms and Tribes
Challenge rules:
There must be crimes committed by all three sides to each other, the sides being humans, elves and orcs.
NO TOLKIEN-STYLE ORCS! Make them a more Blizzard style Orc
Make the orcs a nomadic society, with warriors, shamans, chieftains, etc.
Do NOT just copy Warcraft, this isn't a crossover challenge! Try to to use your own creative imagination.
Make your own Orcish lore, mythology, language, way-of-life, customs, etc.
Humans and Elves would obviously see Orcs as marauding savages. Make it gradually revealed throughout your story that Orcs are misunderstood
Add your own Orc OC to the main party (Callum, Ezran, Rayla) whether male or female; warrior, hunter, beastmaster or shaman. [ I'd go with warrior, but that's just me 😉]
Create a history between races. Like how humans could fear the orcs largely because of tall tales of Orc savagery or like how elves would see them as barbarians no better than humans.
Make it interesting how your OC becomes part of the main cast. Like an escaped prisoner of Katolis or sent on a journey for some destiny told by an elder/shaman or even a disgraced exile. Like I said make it interesting.
Add a little more drama to the story than there is in the series.
As for the whole Primal magic thing, try to something like how some orcs are more intoned with magic than other orcs, more so than humans. Hence the shamans.
While on that, your orcs could have a history of distrust to Dark Magic, like seeing it as unnatural. This could be a reason why Orcs distrust humans.

So, there's my new challenge and I hope you like it! TTFN, peeps
