Greenskins / GREENSKINS

The Greenskins are a highly primitive, bestial, humanoid race of green-skinned barbarians and raiders whose sole pursuit in life is that of war and battle. Greenskins occupy much of the eastern hemisphere of the Known World. The term “Greenskins” is a common collective description used by many civilised realms to refer to the forces of the Orcs, Goblins and other biologically related subraces such as the Gnoblars. The broadest division is between the Orcs, who are strong, brutish, and savage warriors, and the Goblins, who are smaller and weaker, but more cunning and conniving creatures.

The Greenskins are considered by many to be the scourge of all other mortal civilisations. These tribal warriors are extremely violent, raiding ceaselessly, carrying war and barbarism to all corners of the known world. Time and again, hordes of Greenskins would arise without warning and lay a great swath of destruction that has no direction or purpose other than simple violence.[1b] Indeed, the Greenskin race’s single motive is violence, an ever increasing mass of warfare that has the potential to dominate and cover the entire world in a seething green tide.

However, the Greenskins’ tendency for warfare has created a division within their society that has ensured their race shall never reach such heights. Since the dawn of their history, the Greenskins have been plagued by a never-ending series of civil wars that has consumed millions of their own kind, for such is their desire for battle that Greenskin tribes have been known to fight each other just as much as they fight the other civilised races of the Old World.

Though such strife should spell doom for their race, such are the Greenskins’ ability to both survive and thrive in the harshest of environments that they can never truly be exterminated from the face of the world. Without the proper knowledge or unity to progress past even the most basic foundations for a civilisation, the Greenskins never seem to amount to anything more than primitive savages living within scattered tribal societies.
