Grey Orc's in cities

Unread post by illithid »

Looking for clarification please, on which civilised areas accept the presence of grey orcs walking freely IC without face coverings, but acting otherwise in accordance to the rules of the city

Baldur's Gate, and farmlands - No?
FAI - No?
Bergost - No?
Gullykin - No?
Nashkel - Yes? (because there's no way around the city? or masked?)
Roaringshore - Yes?
Soubar - Yes?
Corm Orp - No?
Triel - Yes?
Sshamath - Yes?

Thanks

We may amend this in the forthcoming DM rulings thread but as it stands now.

Baldur's Gate, and farmlands - No? No, but AFK tags can be used to access quests and essential services like the NPC changer.
FAI - No? No.
Bergost - No? Yes, for "Civilised" grey orcs. See the updated law of the lands posts. An orc with a giant club and skulls dangling from his belt would get short shrift and not be permitted entry. One wearing civilised clothes and Amnian in culture would meet poor reactions from the townsfolk but only mild racism from the guards.
Gullykin - No? No, there are ways round so AFK tags not permissible.
Nashkel - Yes? (because there's no way around the city? or masked?)Yes, for "Civilised" grey orcs. See the updated law of the lands posts. An orc with a giant club and skulls dangling from his belt would get short shrift and not be permitted entry. One wearing civilised clothes and Amnian in culture would meet mild racism from the guards and townsfolk. It is up to players to respect the distinction. Also, barbaric orcs can AFK tag through.
Roaringshore - Yes?Yes, although trouble is never far away in Roaringshore.
Soubar - Yes? Yes, the place is lawless and there is even an orcish NPC. However, reactions to outsiders are generally very unfriendly currently.
Corm Orp - No? No, there are ways round so AFK tags not permissible.
Triel - Yes? Yes. The undead do not care!
Sshamath - Yes? Yes, but be mindful of being in a drow city where the drow enjoy their rule, despite Sshamath's unique nature.
