New Racial Hindrance

Orcish Code of Honour (Major)

Be generous and hospitable to visitors. If you give offense, apologize quickly and humbly. If offended, demand satisfaction immediately. If none is forthcoming, then it's time to break out the big axes. If you have a friend, you would die for them. If you have an enemy, your great grandchildren will also have those enemies. Never lie to (or cheat or steal from) your friends or clan mates. Oaths are very serious; never make one lightly. Never show cowardice.

Example of Knowledge Points Blood Elf Rogue, Cassamaria Moonshadow has a smarts of d6, she has a pool of 6 Points to spend.   In her history she grew up as apprentice to her father a High Elf clothier, working out of Loerderon. She knows enough Common to get by, but she was young and hasn’t used it much During the Third war and the scourge invasion of Loerderon her father is killed and she is sent home to Silvermoon City, where she ends up scraping by on the streets. The walls of Silvermoon could not hold back the lich kings army and Quel’thalas was overrun by the dead. She lived in the forests among other survivors like freedom fighters. When the blood elves joined Thralls new Horde she took the opportunity to travel, leaving her homeland for Durotar, and learning the ways of the new Horde, Her quick martial skills endeared her to the orc people and she fell in love with them and their ways. She now calls a hut in Orgrimmar home and has been trained to ride a great Worg.

Arcane Background: The Holy Light

The Holy Light is a philosophical religion, living up to an ideology rather than the worship of a deity. The Holy Light teaches that there is a connection between the external universe and the internal ego. This relationship is balanced by emotion and strengthened by the worshipers internal and external expression of good.

The philosophy of the Holy Light boils down to the three teachings, called the Three Virtues. These virtues: Respect, for yourself and others, and their connection to the Holy Light; Tenacity, having the conviction of your connection; and Compassion, by helping others and building their connection to the Holy Light, your own connection is strengthened — are each defined into a principle and a lesson.

Blood Elves Draw the Holy Light from their font of Magical Energy, the Sunwell.
