They speak what is called the ācommon tongueā. The common tongue was created many years ago, to find a language all races could speak, to communicate with each other. Not all kingdoms are equally good at teaching it, but generally, most people can speak it sufficiently. Many, many years ago, when the Kingdoms of Stormgard and Vesia were formed, they both decided to take the common tongue as their native language. That is why this is the main human language.
Ruled by a king in both Stormgard and Vesia. Fond of magic. In human society, it is of paramount importance to have a profession, so you can support yourself and your family. But of course; the higher your birth, the more money youāll have and that means more options in life. People donāt help each other the same way orcs and elves do. Historians speculate that this is the result of internal strife and bitter civil wars.
The main profession in Vesia is farming, as Vesia has large and rich farmlands. A king rules the nation, but this is in turn split into smaller regions, each ruled by a warden. The royal family is not very popular, and some nobles have even openly contested the king.
Stormgard is much more united than Vesia, though. The king has the love of the people. The economy is table, though people are still poor. It all depends on birth and profession.
Stormgard has a very high production of iron and other metals, and boast a very professional and well-armed army.
The orcs are ruled by a Khan. The Khanate is usually passed down from father to son, until another decides to challenge for power. You are allowed to challenge the khan (or any chieftain, in fact) for power; this is sacred law. Orcs respect things taken or won by power and force. The strongest wins. They have a great reverence for nature, life and death. They hunt their food with a passion. They form great war bands when they do go to war, where they are a terrifying opponent on the battlefield, but definitely not invincible. Oh, and orc women are not what you think they are, or what the rumors say. They do not look like wild boars, or smell like it. They can be very beautiful. But their society is very different from elvish, dwarfish or human, mind you.
There are thousands of tribes in the Orcish Empire, each led by a chieftain. Theyāre a nomadic people and move around constantly. The only āstaticā cities are Ogrin Koor, BurgĆ»n, Rakhon Maar, Grim Maroq and Razvaki.
They have been keeping to themselves for quite a while. Unrest can be felt coming from within, and the khan seems to be making more and more irrational and aggressive decisions. Some brave (or foolish) orcs ignore his mad orders and keep moving around.
The orcish language is very guttural and brutish. Not difficult to understand and grasp, but difficult for elves and humans to pronounce. Dwarves have it slightly easier, as their language also has the same hard consonants.
The dwarves are a hardy people. Small, broad and strong of arm. Most of them have calloused hands, both men and women, as most of dwarfish work involves using your hands. Smithing, jewel crafting, mining, iron and woodworking. Working the furnaces, constructions etc. They are excellent smiths, as well. Everyone in the world covet a dwarfish blade.
There are two kingdoms. Caeld, which is ruled from Kaer Valnar, by a king with total control and influence. His word is law. The other kingdom, is assumed to still be ruled by the descendants of the Dƻrg-BekƔri line, but no one knows.
They men sport long beards with gold and silver rings, big noses and a weathered face.
Dwarves may be small, but they are not to be underestimated on the battlefield. If you donāt believe that, then you can try charging a dwarfish phalanx, or one of their shield walls.
Typically, fair and easy on the eye, tall and walking with light steps and straight backs. Pointed ears. Also, tattoos are very popular with elves, just like jewelry and other beautiful and elegant things.
Given that elves are immortal and that no one wants the same person to sit the throne forever, Rinarwin is ruled by a council, where each member can sit for a period of 10 years and no longer. Their language is smooth and elegant, but difficult to get right and fully understand, for other races.
I elvish society, everyone takes their time with everything. Be it finding a profession and working with this profession They take their time to create things, be it swords, paintings or buildings. They have all the time in the world. This is also why most elves have, at some point, served in the military. It is also why elvish warriors are very highly skilled and coordinated.
Their diet consists of vegetables, fruits, but also fish.
