[@Thinslayer] Aha! Thank you for your answers! The existence of demonic contracts is a perfect vein for that "stigmatized (dark) magic" I was aiming to allude to through Édain. I might allude to King Patronus the Third in her sign-up as well, in regards to her father. Poor orcs seem to have it pretty bad out there! I'd imagine they'd be easy to stereotype as a bunch of dumb brutes by members of the other subspecies. But technology has a sort of steampunk-ish vibe to it, too. I will definitely keep Renaissance in mind. That era's appealed to me for a while, so that's pretty cool! I might make some tweaks to Édain as a whole to reflect that interest. Thanks again; I'll keep working on my character.
