Q:
I sure do love Asura lore
A:
World domination.
The Asuran mentality of reputation v. personal safety. Zojja was concerned that if Kudu embarrassed the Arcane Council, or even if he just killed some of them the result could be chaos. The Snaff Prize competition they said would be boring if none of the entries nearly got someone killed. The Asura are really a lot like the Norn except the Asura want to be known for their discoveries, while the Norn want to be known for their great deeds. For both races, personal safety is a secondary consideration.
I can tell me what my least avourite part is, as soon as i get to choose my faction, the whole attitude of my assura changed.
The thing i loved most was indeed my characters attitude.
