Board Thread:General Mod Discussion/@comment-26172435-20160330122846

This topic was recently touched upon in a number of threads. I started this thread to avoid off-topic cluttering of those threads and to offer a thread for free lore interpretation and speculation, and for discussion on mod features that need some supportive narrative regarding this subject.

My view on this unscrupulous, evil bred and selected spawn:

Your turn folks! What do you think? 
 * There must be male and female orcs involved to achieve the variety of orcs as seen in lore.
 * Selective and forced breeding would be a way to achieve high output of disposable forces.
 * To produce individuals that lack compassion and empathy, young children were likely detached from their mother at a very young age, likely even taken from the womb before they were born.
 * The fate of female orcs was to breed. After forcedly giving birth, of a possibly non-full-grown baby, they would have bern disposed of.
 * After forced detachment from the mothers body, the foetuses would have been brought in sinister breeding environments ('warrens' - source: Fall from Heaven II), where they would have been forcefully nourished to grow beyond the normal 'baby' stage before they were released from their containment and be born into a cruel world.
 * Their (male) longevity may be high, as they descend from elvish bloodlines.
 * Selection would have created types of orcs, both male and female, optimally fit for local circumstances. The srlection process would involve the brutal disposal of any unfit individual.
 * Separate, scattered groups of orcs may have developed less cruel methods in time, but the 'standard' would have been very cruel anyway, as it was detetmined in Angband, by the instigator of all evil himself.
