I was actually gonna do a continuation of this post regarding thatSomewhat tangential brainstorm since this tag stood out to me:#how are u supposed to fight if youre very deadNecromancy, obviously, but there are at least two ways of looking at it:1) Necromancy is great because you can keep fighting after you die, and thus would be encouraged among orcish society.2) Necromancy is not good enough because you’re literally a brain-dead zombie, and where’s the fun in that?A possible middle route would be reanimating shamed and disgraced orcs, since they never did anything worthwhile in life so maybe they can do something worthwhile in death and freeing up other able-bodied orcs for war. Obviously, such undead orcs would be used very carefully or limited to fully-scrubbed skeletons because of the disease risks.If necromancy was acceptable, then orcs would have some of the best necromancers in the world, and if retaining enough self-awareness to continue being an honorable warrior was a concern, then orcish necromancy would have a lot of useful techniques for creating intelligent or semi-sapient undead. Even unintelligent orcish-made undead would some measure of innate understanding of martial honor.I imagine that this would be a topic of considerable debate and controversy among orcs and really would depend on which orcish society you ask.you are so right1) This SERIOUSLY reminds me of Vikings.2) Orcs who died dishonorably being burned instead of buried, to kill whatever germs killed them. Reanimated skeletons are charred black. They are used for harvesting crops, which doesn’t require too much ability to think (if it looks like this pick it if it looks like that leave it there). As they walk the fields, their blackened bones flake and leave behind black bone dust, fertilizing the crops. Their job is done when the skeleton disintegrates. They have fed the clan, and regained their honor.There are some REALLY cool ideas here! -- source link
