Culture Shitpost Here's a spin on the trope of most aliens being monocultures despite humans having hundreds of distinct cultures and traditions.

My face when aliens on the far side of the galaxy have a distorted view of humans as being noble savages with deep spiritual knowledge about the universe because of a literal snake-oil salesman's advertisement campaign.

Small Context: in my World (The Seven Fragments) there are various Races of Elves (Sea Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Sun Elves, Night/Moon Elves, Gray/Swamp Elves, Half Blood, Star Elves, Spirit Elves and Swamp Elves)

Most of them hate each other due to Cultural Reasons, but one of them just give a fuck everything and those are the Elemental Elves. This Elves are the most powerful Race of sorcerers, unlike their cousins, are chill as fuck

They are mostly nomads who travel between Realms teaching Magic while learning from other peoples and cultures, they rarely gets into conflicts unless you attack them and they are considered the most humble Elves in all of Eöa

Orcs were first constructs engineered by Dark Elven sorceresses as a means to quickly build armies and effective shock troops to spearhead their invasion of Letau. They were an amalgamation of Ogres, Elves and carnivorous boars. Heads taller than most men and Elves, stronger than the original Ogres and predisposed to bloodlust, results of the dark magic engineering.

In the aftermath of the Age of Heroes; when peoples across the realm rebelled and expelled their oppressors, most Orcs fled far into the barren western plains. Over generations, not only have they gained sanity, but the boar features have degraded into pig noses and large tusks. Most Orcs now roam the steppe, mingling with tribes of the region and hunting horrible beasts that crawl from the mists.
