Unwanted

Victims of fate, the children borne of the Great Raids unto willing parents are guilty of nothing other than their circumstance. Predominantly half-orcs, the men and women of this group find themselves hated and ostracized by an otherwise very welcoming society.

Common Etiquette rules

Non-orcs Before entering an Unwanted dwelling:

• Declare one's name, caste (if any) and intentions
• Do not look about the domicile or at possessions- look directly at host at all times
• Excessive friendliness is considered suspicious- conduct business and exit as soon as possible

In social situations (after dark):

• Do not attempt to intimidate or antagonize
• Do not offer to buy them a drink
• If entering a fight, punch first
• When the fight is done, then get drinks

Orcs


Entering an Unwanted dwelling:

• Only friends are permitted to enter
• Identify oneself with the family's secret phrase, spoken in Unwanted dialect
• Slam heads with host and throw crude remarks
• Do not look about dwelling, but remarking on finer possessions is welcomed

In social situations (after dark):

• Only offer to buy drinks in rounds
• Brooding is suspicious- being boisterous is generally expected behavior
• Only engage in fights if it's orc-on-orc; other fights are personal
• Knocking out an orc's tusk is the most profound wake-up call, so be prepared for the worst if it was undeserved

Common Dress code

Modest peasant clothing in general
Lightmen wear black-studded leather
