Humans
"Preserve, Provide, Improve"

he majority of the human race values truth and freedom very highly, with strict punishment enforced in most areas for those who disagree. There are of course some religions which would go against these racial beliefs and dictate a more anarchistic lifestyle, but the followers of said religions are most often confined to settlements where such conduct is the norm.

umans as a whole are focused on defending their own people in times of war, but in times of peace, they adopt a bustling industrial method of life. A human must always be working in order to be seen as a contributor to society, even a moment of weakness can cause a human to lose face among his peers.

Elves
"Defend, Learn, Prosper"

he elven empire prides itself on expanding its knowledge throughout extensive study of the outside world, but gives equal effort towards spreading its vast knowledge base throughout its citizens. Elves have the reputation of being well versed in ancient scriptures, spells, and historic events.

hese people recognize that the acquisition of knowledge runs parallel to the improvement of civilization, and as such, they rarely push soldiers to expand their own borders. Elves firmly believe that it is more worthwhile to defend the cities they have already developed than to create new ones. The typical work force in an elven village is devoted to caring for the people, research, gathering resources, and creating commerce.

Orcs
"Conquer, Fortify, Advance"

hile the collective mentality of the Orcs yearns for the glory of war, a large amount of the population's will is focused on developing new settlements over freshly cleared battlefields, or adding yet another layer of brick to the fortress walls. Orcs focus on battle, but in such a way that it enables those who cannot fight to live an easier life within the walls of their town. In this sense, the Orcs are very noble creatures.

rc cities are always well guarded, and because of their love of military presence, there are few civilian casualties in times of conflict. Honor is very important to the Orcs, and strict codes of conduct are usually set in place by Orcish commanders even in the bloodiest of battles.
