Tales have I heard of dhe origins of Romanichal and Vanceir from dhe firs' humans, our distant cousins. I have heard dhe story of elves and dhe Great Dragon dhat begot all of dhem. I have heard stories of hoblings and dwarves from dhe underbrush of dhe forests and dhe rocks of dhe mountains. I have heard dhe stories of Mystic Wood Folk from dhe fairies and dhe elves. I have heard stories of biata from griffons and stone elves.
I have howe'er nye heard a word about dhe origins of animal folk, humans, high orcs, and high ogres. Vhat are dhe legends surrounding dhem? If animal folk are indeed descended from animals, vhat made dhem decide to take dhe gift...or curse...of high sentience? Vhat circumstance made high orcs and high ogres ascend above dheir primal counterparts and refine, if indeed dhere is any relationship 'tween dhe two? Vhere do humans come from? Dhey are so versatile in dheir ways dhat dhere is nye one dhat I have met dhat will answer "what are you" wit' "I am human." nor a universal answer to "where do you like to live?" like, for instance asking a Romani vhat dhey are. Dhey will likely answer "I am a Roma of dhe familia ____" or a hobling where dhey would like to live, you will be hard pressed to find one say "I would like to live in alone in a cave in dhe forest wit' no possessions."
I am nye asking to be rude or to make assumptions about any race and if dhere are stories of ot'er races ot'er dhan dhe ones I've expressed specific curiousity about dhen by all means, I would love to know ot'er stories.
