Punctuation is the difference between: "Never, she thought" and "Never she thought". -- Tarbo

It's somewhere in the book that we use them as miners and blacksmiths as well, but that may have been an overgeneralizzation of slaves as a whole.
DE pretty much use anything as bait, leather goods, cheep, labor, and the ocational treat for pets.
Chaos Dwarves use them all the time (they bread the Black Orcs origanaly as a more resilient laberor that wouldn't die quite as often in the mines.) no reason why we can't break em.

I'll move this over to Druchii Discussion because this doesn't seem to be related to the RPG. Ping me if I'm mistaken.
As for the topic, why wouldn't orcs be used as slaves? Sure, they may be resilient but, if we are to take credence of the actual descriptions used, Druchii are sociopathic, oedipal maniacs who take perverted pleasure in torturing others. I'm sure they can devise something more eviliscious than a whip.
If they can housebreak Cold Ones and Hydras, why not a greenskin with comparable astuteness and resilience?

I guess I'd better avoid further questions on the usage of your whips...
Well, I guess that a really mean, bladed, barbed, steel wire lash would have a rather skin-rending effect on anything, even Orc skin. But as orc skin comes gnarlier, scabbier and thereafter thicker as it olds, I guess that even the most disgusting torturing devices would lose their effect on Orcs in some point.
But there are branding irons, needles and other pieces of pain-inflicting machinery that could pierce Orc skin. Actually, a grater or a cheese slicer would work quite nicely on thick-skinned creatures...

Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

I think that Orcs would be too brutish and stupid for all but the most basic of tasks. Basically somrthing that needs muscle but no brains, like pulling a pough or moving rocks for building.

I doubt the DE are using many old slaves. Because of the malnutrition, and gastly working conditions the slaves live in, they don't live long. One of the main reasons why corsairs are so poulare in the DE society is because their ain job first and formost is to replace the dead slaves with new ones.
Big 'Uns and Big Bossess would rather die then surender (which many a Dark Elf Warlord would gladley grant.) As for the others, they probably don't last long anyways to get tough skin. If they did, they could find some use in the arena for them.
