==Orcs and Goblins== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> Click "Expand" to see a summarized version of the changes to Orcs & Goblins lore. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> * In the first age of the world the greenskins allied with the other races to seek freedom. * In the second age they managed to build a civilization, with royalty. One of their shamans was able to forsee the third age, the first of ruin. * A "WAAAGH!" is now a "Waaargh!". * The lore Q&A (presented from an in-universe sage) said its uncertain how Orcs and Goblins reproduce, stating for certain some come from the ground and that means they must have females (because remember, GW greenskins are all technically female by virtue of producing spores themselves asexually). He also states that he has not noticed a difference between them in the few interactions he has had with one but that he cannot confirm female-dimorphic greenskins do not exist. This reflects debate in the community on whether to keep greenskins as exclusively spore apes, or have some as spore apes and others having sexual reproduction (remember that some fungus does have male and female differences). * Regional Orcs are called Broods, representing a type of personality and culture bigger than a Clan or Tribe. * The primary holiday of greenskins is the Festival Of The Bearβs Heart AKA the Feast Of Zagjan. It is a religious holiday organized and supplied for by the Big Boss of the region and goes on for three days. Due to the danger from all the drunk Orcs, Goblins without status stay away. Killing is technically forbidden, but deaths are frequent anyway as is changes in leadership from the victory or loss of contests of hunting and strength, with cannibalism of the dead as the means through which food lasts the entire event. Broods compete together at everything, from chopping wood to drinking, every act is a competition to prove superiority. The Flight Of The Flaming Pig is one of the games at every gathering, inspired by a Shaman trying to invent a salve to burn the fur off a riding boar and cook it immediately; it results in a hairless pig on fire instead. The biggest Orc of each Brood lines up and holds a riding boar, and when the Big Boss gives the signal each one is covered in salve and thrown like a rocket. The boar that goes the furthest becomes a legendary mount once its fur grows back, the rest become the final meal on the third day of the celebration. * Greenskin lore is currently otherwise unchanged. </div></div>
