El, can you make Deities? I wanna make a God on the side of good.

There are like five main deities already, I thought.

Mauro, Gandolo, Cierin, Vidia, and Gora.

I've kinda decided that at least in Felurin, Vidia, who judges souls after death, is kind of a dark goddess but who is also relatively good.

Edit: You should do some RPing with Videssos, unless you are Videssos. I remember him being quite the fan and he is a great writer.

Never heard of Videssos. This is my first foray into P2tM.


Well he suggested the series to me a couple of years ago, though he doesn't know it.

I don't know what he's been doing lately but he ran a Fantasy RP with enough Malazan canon in it that it was practically an alternate universe fandom.

The Batorys wrote:Yeah, if we're going with the Orcs are marauding bands of raiders trope that constantly raid non-Orc lands because that's just what they do, then any countries who border the lands where Orcs dwell would have very militarized societies and large standing armies (and 1000 is, as has been pointed out, incredibly puny), such as the Borderlands in Wheel of Time, or Gondor and Rohan in LotR. Orcs would be something those societies would ICly know about, and so those borders would be quite fortified. Because nobody would go "Oh, there are Orcs out there who often raid our villages, but I'm going to forget about that and not do anything to stop it." The Orcs aren't organized, no, but to villagers, they are terrifying, likely. Even autocratic rulers tend to have to do something if their citizens are up in arms about being attacked.

Something I've always wondered though... what do Orcs do when they're not launching raids on people? What is the rest of Orc society like?

Also, evil has Mad Dog. I think. Wait, is he even on a side other than the "being batshit crazy" side?


Somebody else who's read The Wheel of Time...

Pretty sure Yoite has, too, seeing as they know what Asha'man are.

Counter point, you won't have your assassins marching in the open field either. You won't be subject to dozens dying in enemy cavalry charges, and barrages of holy spells.


They also will be unlikely to stay in groups for long. As well as being spread out here and there and everywhere.

Yeah, assassins can be powerful at what they're good at, but they're not all that much use in an open fight.

Like in Malazan, the Claws are super scary if they're after you, but they can't really stand up to an actual army.

Sounds cool.

You should read more of Malazan. But then, my opinion is biased, as it is by far my favorite fantasy series. Once you're done with the ten books of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, as well as Ian Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire that fit between some of them, you should read Forge of Darkness the start of the Kharkanas Trilogy, which is all about the Tiste Andii.
