    What the Dreamscape is about

    I experienced something two years ago. Or maybe I had experienced it before but never realized. I had a few dreams, and in those dreams I had memories from that place where I was. But when I woke up I only knew that I had been in another familiar place again, and I had memories of it and more...

    How can a long-running religion push its original deity into the background in favor of a new one?

    Not to be nitpickick, but, no, in reality it's attention. Attention creates reality and it creates/fuels gods. You could say that faith and worship are attention, but it's not. Fear is also attention. A "demonic" god could be created of fueled by giving it attention by fearing it. (And I don't...

    Orc females

    Oh really? I had to look in the dictionary when I was reading. According to that Napan and Seti are humans, but Bhargast and Imass are a separate species, or might be human precursor race (neanderthals) Trell I think are a mix of Teblor and Bhargast, while Jhag are immortal orc wizards (green...

    Really? I thought that was exactly what I was saying, just those things, and not at all "how would a wild woman be?"

    Orc females

    If you read what I have said what looking for, the orcs are not evil or globs of bloo or "human in the orc" they are basically human. Like woodwoses, but not hary and with green skin. (Or maybe, who knows, hairy humans with normal skin tone, called "orks" would be interesting. And the females...

    Orc females

    Funny, I had something something exactly similar to that snippet of text in mind. I have a girlfriend who loves wolves for example, and identifies with them very much

    Orc females

    From Our Orcs Are Different - TV Tropes : "Usually have oppressive, patriarchal societies, with females being treated as property (if female orcs are even shown or mentioned)." A wild woman couldn't stand being property. Even if it meant cooking and cleaning and being pregnant.

    Orc females

    No, it has a human mind. But "the culture" of the orc, or the behaviour it has that is inherited, but not from it's parents but from the original "wild spirit" archetype of the human unconscious, is very "rooted". The original orc is the elemental spirit of the wild and truly uncivilized side of...
