frowned upon such relationships.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Nah, the racism here isn't really that bad. The orc undergound is
more of a slum than anything else, basically just where the poor folk hang
out. I've heard stories about orcs who grew up there not even realizing
there were other metaraces... Funky if you ask me.

How bad is it in Tir?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Ding! goes the news agent, and like the good little Pavlovian I am, I
rush to see what happened. =) Anyway, this Orc Underground business sounds
fascinating. Didn't get any of it on footage? Damn shame, that. I'd love to
see it in "person" except that other duties are keeping me tied up here. I
don't suppose any experts have given it their eyes-on yet? And as for that
banshee...I'm rather surprised to hear of one quite that out in the open.
"Guarding" the body, you say? Any idea for whom? Or why?

As to the question of banshees and vampiric elves, I should point out that the
bulk of Thaumaturgic thought about HMHVV (which, i should point out, has so
far resisted the best efforts at fully understanding its effects) suggests that
the manifestation of the "vampirism" is likely to be different in each
individual. While some evidence suggests that HMHVV can have an unbalancing
effect on the intellect, it is by no means clear that this happens in all
cases. The well-known conjecture that HMHVV-infected elves become "banshees"
may be only that, speculation.

So, is anyone in the scholarly regime investigating this interesting little
incident?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Bad Cybil, very bad. The Tir nobility and royals have made it so
that only an elf can reach any of the good jobs. It has at times
made me ashamed of my heritage. I would have liked to brought all
my friends out of Tir, but alas it could not be.

I see though that there are those here that would also outright attack
metahumans. This Judas, do you know anything about him/it?]<<<<<
