Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - General Six nations... but where are the Orcs?

Unless - are the Orcs the hostile faction we're fighting against? Maybe that's it.

Speaking of which, where are the goblins? Is it because they're primitive tribals that they don't count as a Nation?

The Goblins certainly don't seem organized enough to be a nation. And there were always more sentient races mentioned that didn't qualify for a seat on the Council of Seven.


Zandalor: First things first. This is the meeting hall of the Council of the Seven Races - orcs, imps, elves, lizards, dwarves, humans and all good wizards.

Lucian: Why just those races? Aren't hawk men, trolls or Halflings worthy of a voice on your council? And since when have wizards been a race? I thought any intelligent being could become a wizard.

Zandalor: I see that there is a lot of history that I must teach you if things are to become plain, Marked One. The original Council of Seven was formed from the most powerful intelligent races in Rivellon. Wizards were included as a gesture of courtesy. It's always best to be polite to us mages and, besides, the Council of Six Races and Assorted Magic-Users was too much of a mouthful.

Yes, orcs are one of the bad guys, they are the ones using dark magic (or how it was called). Goblins probably too.
And the six races mentioned are those of the council of seven, 6 races + the magic users.

edit: goddamnits stabbey, ninja poster :p

Chaos magic, and they are bad guys just because they were usually misguided or manipulated by real bad guys. And since we are at days of glory of Dragon knights i'm also puzzled why they aren't in. Maybe they aren't organized (yet) to be considered a nation.
