Paleskins
Similar to their greenskin variants, Paleskins is the term given to intelligent creatures with flesh toned skin that originate from the realm of giants. A multitude of different species that follow similar laws and rules for living. With many paleskins choosing to focus on both the strength of the body and the mind. Hardworking beings with strategic minds when faced with war.
The Elements:
Besides sharing similar traits, each species of paleskin creature has an innate fascination and association with a different natural element. Scholars of the realm theorise this connections comes from their respective origins. One of example of this is giants and weather go hand in hand. The first colossal beasts descended from the heavens. Passing through lightning storms, snow clouds and dense fogs to reach the ground. In doing so, they were gifted with magical gifts associated with the weather thus creating an association with the conditions of the sky. Another example comes from the tales of them being born from stone and exploring the lands in search of finding their brothers and sisters buried deep underground. Other paleskins include Cyclops that are tied to the wood and trees of the forests and Golems with a link to clay.Life as a Paleskin:
No matter what creature you are or the family you are born into, the life of a paleskin is one that requires hard work. To help themselves, their family and their communities from the dangers that lie outside the safety of their homes. One day could see them repairing the walls of large strongholds, another could see them build new defence measures to citadels to make any greenskin think twice about invading. Despite the physical labour a paleskin must endure, they do so with pleasure and ensure they make time to improve their minds as well. Taking pride of the history they have preserved over thousands of years and admire anyone that can teach them something new. The thirst of knowledge is sprinkled into civilizations with many inventors, scholars and strategists amongst their people.Paleskins are everywhere, just as many giants and golems as there are orcs and trolls. In constant war with one another, better be preapred for a brutal fight if you want to travel in that realm. Only the toughest and strongest can survive. I remember the day I got caught in one of those battles, cost me my leg and a dozen broken bones.Outside the haven of their fortified cities, lies the bigget threat to paleskins, the greenskin brutes. Orcs, goblins and more lurking in every shadow. The feud between greenskins and paleskins has led to a long and boody history that began for reasons lost to time. In the present, skirmishes and battle take place over natural resources or claiming land. More wise creatures believe the hatred between the two is connected to the gods but there is little to no evidence of their claims. If a paleskin ever needs to venture into the wilds, they do so with caution and in numbers. Always ready to stand their ground if required.
