Morkar (3.5e Race)

Morkar

Personality

Morkar love one thing in life. This is not to say they cannot like other things but as a general rule this is there foremost passion. They love warfare. Morkar have a special passion for warfare. They love the strategy, the cunning, the styles, but most of all the brute test of strength and skill.

Physical Description

Morkar look much like minotaurs. They stand more than 9 feet tall, some of the tallest even reaching 11 feet. They weigh in at around 900 - 1000 pounds. They are sheathed in nicely kept brown hair and have horns at the top of there heads. In every way the Morkar looks basically like a minotaur but there are small differences that can tell them apart.

Relations

Morkar hate most races of the world, thinking of there existence as fragile and non deserving. Most races regard them with the same hate but for different reasons including there aggressive and brutish behavior and there lack of care for most smaller races. Although there are a small number of Morkar who tolerate (even that one in a million who likes) other weaker races.

Alignment

Morkar are usually chaotic evil or chaotic neutral. Evil is the most common among Morkar and any good alignment is quite rare. Although good aligned Morkar do some times come around. Morkar are almost exclusively non lawful. There is that rare Morkar that becomes lawful evil, neutral, or even sometimes lawful good.

Lands

Morkar's strong bodies alow them to adapt to almost any climate. They use this to there advantage and usually reside in deserts to give them an upper hand over their enemies. Morkar also will sometimes be found on the grasslands or maybe rolling hills. Although less common a Morkar can sometimes be found roaming a forest or two although no Morkar civilizations are built in or neer the forests. To many Fey I guess.

Religion

Religion can very as does everything else about morkar due to there varying ethical choices. One deity that remains common throughout is the god of strength Kord. Evil Morkar usually worship Erythnul and some times Gruumsh. Neutral Morkar tend to worship Pelor or Fharlanghn while good Morkar may want to worship Pelor or Ehlonna.

Language

Morkar speak rough common though it has grown crude from misuse. Some Morkar that have lived in human society may speak common perfectly fine. Those who don't live in some kind of comunity other than there own speak with a strong accent, poorly, or even loose the ability all together (only rare cases). Morkar speak giant. They generally know only giant and are quite content with knowing only that. They lack the ability to read and write.

Names

Morkar have a single name that they choose for themselves upon reaching an age when society recognizes them (around 40). Their names are usually meant to be special and have some special meaning behind them. Morkar just like any other race enjoy their uniqueness. The meaning behind there names is usually derived from some ancient family or past incident.
