Big Iron on his hip. A little doodle sketch of a Solibri cowboy defending a Servus Aether farmer from a Urukai Bandit.

We might be inclined to post more about the species of our universe if there seems to be interest regarding them! We’ve got a whole ass documentaries worth of info regarding em lmao.

Ao3 is down so here’s a really really silly Gimli/Legolas fanfiction I wrote for my own amusement

Aragorn stood with Gimli on the ramparts, looking out over the sea of Urukai steadily marching closer and closer. They would be there by nightfall, and there was nothing they could do that had not already be done. Nothing besides listen to the heavy tramp tramp tramp of the enemy’s footfalls in the distance and contemplate their impending doom. Gimli stood in silence, seemingly undaunted by the endless waves of foes flowing towards him. Aragorn was suddenly grateful for his steady presence, and his dwarven pragmatism. One could always count on Gimli to be the voice of reason in a room full of insanity. Well almost always, Aragorn supposed. Throw he and Legolas in a room together and all bets were off. Ever since their first meeting, they had displayed a natural talent for driving all rational thoughts from each other’s heads. Nowadays, of course, they were friends, and their irrationality usually presented itself in nonsensical debates as opposed to vicious arguments, which made a nice change.

Speaking of Legolas… the elf in question came bounding up, taking the wallstairs two at a time, looking decidedly excited and sporting a mad twinkle in his eye. Both Gimli and Aragorn turned to greet their friend. He didn’t give them time.

“Aragorn, I have an idea. It is not without fault but it might just give us an edge.”

“Well let us hear it then,” said Aragorn, clapping him on the shoulder. Any ideas were heartily welcome, and Legolas had plenty of useful experience. Legolas hesitated, and glanced down at Gimli.

“There now, out with it lad,” said Gimli. “Let’s hear your plan.”

“There is the fault,” said Legolas. “I fear that it might cause offence in some way.”

“And how is that possible?” asked Gimli.

“It involves me kissing you,” replied Legolas evenly. Aragorn was suddenly quite certain that his optimism had been premature. Gimli’s eyebrows shot up.

“Well now we have to hear it,” he said with interest, and, it should be noted, not looking remotely offended.

“I agree,” Aragorn said flatly. “I would dearly love to know you plan to save us by kissing our dwarf.”

“Then hear this.” Legolas gathered them together so that they were all three facing one another in a tight circle, his hands on each of their shoulders. “The Uruks will be here at nightfall, yes? And we have too few men. Yet we are not without advantages. We have courage, and strength, and most importantly, brains. We have some of the finest, most experienced battle strategists in all of Ennor right here in our walls. We would be fools to waste that advantage. What we need is something bold, unthought of, a move they would never conceive of in a million years.”

“And this, I suppose, is where kissing Gimli comes into it.” Aragorn wondered whether it was too late to find new companions.

“Precicely. It is the last thing they would expect. If Gimli and I go behind the stables and kiss-”

“They’ll never see it coming,” finished Gimli.

“Do not tell me you’re going along with this, Gimli,” Aragorn groaned. Gimli only grinned. “And then what happens?”

“Pardon?”

“What is the rest of your plan?”

“In all honesty, I hadn’t thought that far ahead,” Legolas said with a winning smile. Gimli’s grin somehow got even wider. Aragorn squinted at both of them. “So to sum up, the entirety of your plan consists of you kissing Gimli behind the stables?”

“It just might work,” said Gimli, stroking his chin.

“I’m sorry?” asked Aragorn, trying to shake the notion that he’d been hit over the head with a shovel.

“I’ll admit, it is a bit far fetched, but if it has even the slightest chance of working, is it not our duty to try?” Saying so, Gimli covered Legolas’s hand far too tenderly with his own.

“What could that possibly do?!” Aragorn spluttered.

“We have no way of knowing,” said Legolas. “But Aragorn, if we survive this, how could any of us go home to our families with our heads held high, knowing we had not done all we could to save as many lives as possible?” He gazed at him imploringly.

“Besides,” said Gimli, taking Legolas’ hand and pulling him towards the wallstairs. “I don’t see you coming up with any better ideas.” Together, they skipped off down the stairs, giggling like children. At least some people were enjoying themselves.

Aragorn turned back to stare out over the flatlands, and wondered if it were too late to change careers. He soon saw the funny side however, and removed himself to a quiet corner to laugh. It wouldn’t do to let the army see him cackling alone like a madman in the face of their impending demise. And when Eomer arrived in search of the Mirkwood prince, Aragorn informed him in the most dignified of manners that Legolas could be found showing Gimli an elven battle techniques behind the stables, and that he would no doubt welcome his input. Watching Eomer do a swift about face at the stable corner and march away scrubbing at his eyes and shaking his head raised Aragorn’s spirits tremendously, enough to carry the night through. So in a way, Legolas was right. Kissing Gimli did give them an edge after all

Urukai Commander LOTR Story

[scytheaudio]

Scythe... Reaper... l'm BEGGING YOU. I NEED a description of this Orc Warlord I'm a sucker for.

I have drawing ideas but my simp ass wants it to be accurate

I like to leave it to your imagination

Buuuut...have you seen the Urukai in LOTR?

[memento-morianon]

Happy Storyteller Saturday! So you have birdfolk, merfolk, centaurs, gnomes, orcs... What other sophonts are in this world?

Probably too many lol but here is my list:

Sylvanids: elves, stroi, drow. Evolved from a simian ancestor. Elves are arboreal omnivores, stroi live on the ground and have become carnivores, and drow live underground and are also omnivores. Their main protein is a domesticated cave snail from which they also gain their oddly purple skin pigment. Without the snails, drow who live outside long-term just turn very pale. Stroi can have fertile offspring with both of their cousin species, but elves and drow reproducing together will only have infertile offspring. Sometimes the stroi/elf and stroi/drow mixed folks will also have offspring together and these offspring are also infertile.

Urukainids: orcs and gnomes. Their shared ancestor, the urukai, evolved from a porcine ancestor. Gnomes are basically just tiny orcs with no tusks, they split from the orcs as a result of isolation in a harsh environment causing them to grow smaller and smaller. While uncommon, they can still have fertile offspring with orcs, and their offspring have very mixed traits. Sometimes they are small with tusks, sometimes they are tall but more skinny and tuskless. Occasionally gnomes have a recessive gene for tusks, it activates only when both parents have the recessive gene and the gnome in question must have a certain level of testosterone to grow the tusks to a noticeable size.

Centaurs: sapient chalicotheres with chimeric twin biology. This often goes wrong, leading to a larger population with congenital defects compared to any other people species. Their only natural predators were the urukai and then more specifically the orcs. This did lead to violent conflict as both groups gained sapience and had to figure out that the other group was also a people. There has been an awkward silent truce between them for generations now, centaurs retreating to their own guarded lands while orcs largely abandoned those lands and found other prey like moose, elk, and bison. Centaurs still distrust most other people, but they're beginning to warm up.

Dwarves: the only remaining hominid species after the extinction of humans. They have very little sexual dimorphism and mostly live in mountainous caves, but they also farm the lowlands in the spring and summer, harvesting their crops before winter sets in. I base their appearance more off of neanderthals, and they do still carry some remnant of true human DNA from their ancestors who mingled with humans. Due to a strange genetic quirk, some dwarves can have infertile offspring with elves. This is a rare occurence.

Ogres: not very plot relevant but they exist. Giant sloth people who live in the mountains and mostly travel alone. They endure the harsh environment by going into a state of low metabolism like a mini hibernation anytime the weather gets extra nasty. They also tend to leave their young offspring in dwarf caves for safety. Ogres naturally shed their long fur, so they spin it into yarn and trade it to other people for various goods. It has a Smell, but it is the best fiber for warm clothes with a natural waterproof quality.

Goblins: hermaphroditic amphibious folk who live in damp lowland burrows and caves. They tend to hibernate in the winter, but younger goblins have taken to living with mammalian neighbors over winter to stay awake in their warm homes. Goblins also have skin mucus that is capable of producing toxins, which they used to their advantage during the Goblin Revolution, an event that sparked the eventual integration of multi-species communities around the globe.

Merfolk: these are actually two unrelated species. There are coastal/freshwater merfolk who evolved from pinnipeds, they often herd migrating fish like salmon up rivers and divert them to specific lakes to spawn, trading the meat for other goods. And there are also oceanic merfolk, who resemble sharks and helped develop the international sign language. This was necessary because the oceanic merfolk cannot speak the way land dwellers do, and they had no other way to communicate with international trade vessels crossing over their territories. The two species of merfolk rarely meet and used to consider each other mortal enemies.

Quetzalin: the bird folk! They did not evolve naturally, but are the result of a genetic experiment performed by a powerful Life Entity who was trying to extend the existence of humans and decided to be Unique about it (this is also why some dwarves and elves can have offspring, it's all because of this one Life Entity who experimented with genetics). Quetzalin are a tropical rainforest people, and they only show sexual dimorphism during their courting season. They have also developed a sort of symbiotic relationship with a population of centaurs.

Pixies: giant sapient bees. They are the most technologically advanced people but also the last to receive official recognition as a people species. Ironically they had been studying the vertebrate people species for centuries and practicing the law of "don't mess with more primitive species until they're ready for it", so they gradually and intentionally went along with the studies to prove their own sapience and responded to their official welcome by revealing a little of their cool tech to share with the world. They have not revealed all of it. They're the reason that long distance communication tools like telegrams exist in the world.

Honorary mentions, not actually present in my main plot:

Lizard folk: also known as kobolds. They come in legless variety as well. The legged kobolds typically live in deserts while the legless ones live in tropical forests. They don't come up in the main story because they live on another continent.

Kangaroo folk: uncreatively referred to as kangari. I designed them after a friend suggested the idea that satyrs could be marsupials, but they kinda escaped that concept and just became kangaroo people lol. I still think they're cool, but they also exist in a different continent than my main story.

Hobbits/halflings: a third species alongside orcs and goblins, mirroring the drow by living underground. I went through a few name ideas for them, most recently landing on "hauthin" but I wasn't entirely satisfied with it and I really didn't have any narrative space to explore their existence. So now I've decided that gnomes are the tiny urukai descendants in the western hemisphere and hauthin are in the eastern hemisphere. The main difference is just that hauthin live in burrows and retained their tusks to use them as digging tools. All of the urukainid descendant species can have fertile offspring. This does mean that it's a bit of a misnomer to refer to them as fully separate species, but they're kinda like canines that way. Got your big wolves and your small dogs, and it might be inadvisable for them to mate, but they can have babies.

And I think that's all of em!

Why did Tolkien call them urukai? Why not potato orcs? I will never understand...

I made so many Darukis 😖💕

[lunatiicjade]

I super ship Uruha and Kai, ugh 💜

[princess-of-brillini]

I'm just making a lot of sketches 'cuz my drawing pad is pretty damaged ( 8 years of tortures ) and I can't make line-art properly TuT

BUT next week I'll have my new drawing tablet, finally 😍

This is just a new OC related to the mage I drew time ago. I really want to make a fantasy comic, gimme the strength to draw it all by myself TuT ✨

[wreckitremy]

Wow go zulious.

The theater gay is finally pulling their weight.

I mean sure, the bird taurs are probably gonna meddle and it's gonna be a whole thing, but he did what noone else could.

This whole 4th wall episode doesn't feel like a love letter to the fans, but not hate mail either.

It feels like a plea written by the creators from jail.

P.s. the centaur soup is selling the implied army decently.

Very much doing the thing that a certain story did with a mention of tortured and mutilated elves, that ended in a ten thousand urukai army.

I need a break tho bc I haven't eaten all day due to the previously mentioned water situation exacerbating my executive dysfunction.

So I finally decided to watch centaurworld

That was a mistake.

4 minutes in, and I'm already crying

[sleepycoffins-and-benhargreeves]

Uruha: Trust me, I know what I’m doing!

Kai: Not even God knows what you’re doing, Uruha!
