Porkus are a humanoid pig species who are native to Far Away Land. They are well-known for their greedy, envious nature. They are also well-known for their near extinction at the hands of the boom during the Boom War.
Porkus are narcissistic creatures who are interested in gaining wealth, glory, and power. They love to eat and often seek out the most scrumptious and exotic foods to fulfill their ever expanding tastes. Porkus love luxury and strive to be as comfortable as possible with as little work as possible. Most dress in fine clothes and view their physical appearance as representational of their inner selves.
Porkus live in a society where wealth and fame are regarded as a sign of intelligence. Mediocrity is often rewarded and aspired to. As such, the most famous porkus are generally also the most lame, lazy, and uncreative. Intellectualism, logic, and scientific thought are frowned upon and disregarded.
During the Boom War, the porkus species was nearly wiped out by a plague carried by the boom’s squid minions. Few porkus survived this plague. Those who did survive discovered that much of the wealth and resources that were once held by porkus of high standings were now theirs (due to the fact that the plague killed rich and poor porkus alike). This rebuilding of porkus society was known as the Great Hamming of Wealth. It was from this shift in wealth that the porkus feudal kingdoms of today arose. Now, porkus kings and nobles rule territories and fight against one another to attain more wealth and power. Envious families rule porkus peasants with hammy fists while they seek to overthrow not only enemy kingdoms, but their own family members as well.
