I've decided to take my new "corrupted human" (demon-worshipping humans - multi-caste, with each caste being progressively more mutated than the last) race for a test run and made a felsworn swordsman starting from a regular human civ.
Immediately things are...pretty interesting. A warlord of a fel orc bandit camp, Sorgul Oilghoul, was living in my starting hamlet for whatever reason - he even just had a regular puny knife. The townsfolk took no offense to me killing him, either.
I went to a nearby hamlet, where I was assigned a quest by my hearthperson to kill Shin, the insatiable greed master of this civilization who was posing as a deity - I killed some corrupted human bandits that were roughing the place up - no casualties on the side of me and my companions, although I was thinking they might die.
I couldn't get any townsfolk to join me in an uprising, unfortunately, but regardless it appeared I didn't really need it. In the mead hall, the soldiers and the lord were fighting Shin, managing to inflict some decent damage on him before I closed in and jammed my two-hander through his skull, killing him.
Afterwards I went to a shrine, where again I killed a chimera, Modaman Pillarwhirled the Mechanical Conjunction, and also an alligator, Yorebridles, which was stalking the nearby area.
Which brings me to the current situation - I'm in a fel orc bandit camp, where Sorgul's gang is, got an iron katana from a sleeping swordsman and am now currently fighting Sorgul's successor, a lasher by the name of Borork Flickerlash. For some reason, one of the wrestlers around the camp was using a steel pick as a weapon - is that normal?
