*Dies from cringe*
Edit disclaimer: I have not played too far into the Conan MMOs. But my first impression is that you start and seem to remain a nobody. No chosen one BS. Correct me if I am wrong.
*blasts your corpse with my elven magic to make sure you are really dead*
*Summons Pelinal Whitestrake to do what he does best.*
Woo hoo! Roleplay! There's a place in the tavern for that. xD
Anyways, I doubt slavery will be a thing in Ashes. I'm sure they could pull it off. I mean. A lich with an undead army is an example. Those skeletons are not paid labor.
Also, undead are racist towards the living.
'Imbues the forces of death and raises the undead. Thus, the undead live and Jinn Magic rules.'
he doesnt exist in verra, otherwise people could just summon saitama, kratos and asura fully controlled or franklin richards, jim jasper or any reality changing character .-. and also throw any1 into the void
True. Pelinal doesn't exist in Verra. But A Pelinal could. Just as a Goblin Slayer could. Unless he was actually a cyborg powered by a god of creation... Then that complicates things.
*slaps your skinny elven body into the ocean and causes a tidal wave*
Are YOU the reason I keep catching old boots??? Damnit man!
Someone’s gotta slap the tribalists around, slap em into mountains, oceans, volcanoes, lakes, orbit..
It’s tough work, but it’s labor I gladly accept.
Lore wise it even works out that way too. They're those left behind and mutated while living underground for ages. All the "good" races left to a safer place and now return. The animosity between the two just writes itself.
But faction based gameplay (which would ultimately be required to enforce possible friciton between races in general) is ultimately a drag and forces people to be split up or play the same race, just to be with their friends. That's also why any race can start from any portal into Verra (which canonically all belong to a specific race). That way you can start on whatever area of the map appeals the most to you and your friends/guild, without having to spend 50 hours apart, earning enough money and gear to traverse the seas between continents etc.
Dont get me wrong when I advocate for racial tension. Im not saying we cant get along and live in the same cities. Just, you know. The old dwarf and elf fire we get in stories. Then you branch off of that in two directions, factions/people that are outright hostile to each other and those that are more friendly than just tolerating each other.
Both are good, these arent god crafted robots that are forced to be good or evil like some of the older dungeons and dragons races. From what I understand verra's races can and should be intelligent enough to have some people see past race and thats great for the game just as much as having the lunatic murder-racists. There's also room for those that have developed hatred through persecution and learn to forgive. All sorts of stories can be made from these things and it can feel good and right to engage with.

It ... ... it is not our fault, that living Beings are such inferior, incomplete, imperfect Beings, B-baka !
Barely more than a helpless Sack filled with Water and Meat. Not even being able to become Undead of their own. They have no idea how much worth their simple Bones hold, raised in eternal Servitude to serve Prosperity in a dark Kingdom forever.
Such pitiful Incompleteness ... ... ... must be cured !
Muaha ha ha hah ! * sharpens Tools, Hacksaw and Meathook *

why cant we be Sanctonese?
I get it, i get it. Being offered flowers just doesn't have the same meaning anymore. No skin to enjoy a warm bed. Or guts to enjoy being inebriated. But trully, being alive means there is an end. I feel sorry for you immortal folk. Existing for all eternity. There is no finality to it. Well, if that were true. Don't undead slowly erode away? Your bone surely aren't immune to the erosion of time, are they?
Time ravages all things.
