This game will be insane if it ever gets made. Insane in every meaning of that word. Sheogorath is in charge of development, after all. Expect wabbajacky future

I thought this project was vaporware, is it a real impending game ?

I consider it vapourware until I see the actual gameplay video of it. And even then it's not guaranteed to see the release.

I wonder how you would even move your arm or leg with stone flesh.

There's this document which compiles the information given about Wayward Realms' lore. I think it's put together by their Discord channel members.

Painfully? I imagine cracks would appear when you're moving and you would bleed through them

Can't begin to explain how much I hate when designers take established races and decide to completely change them but use an existing name.

"Our orcs and elves are completely different!"
ok and why are they called orcs and elves?

They could at least try to be original and call them aelffs, aurks and fampyrs.

Isn't that what was done with The Elder Scrolls? All elves, dwarves, and orcs are considered variations on Mer.

that's second-level elder scrolls lore for people who are turbovirgins

entry-level lore is that elves are elves, dwarves are dwarves, orcs are orcs

Light & Dark elves, twins seems fine imho yin/yang etc etc.

Wiki Entry
"Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar
In Norse mythology, Dökkálfar ("Dark Elves")[a] and Ljósálfar ("Light Elves") are two contrasting types of elves; the dark elves dwell within the earth and have a dark complexion, while the light elves live in Álfheimr, and are "fairer than the sun to look at". The Ljósálfar and the Dökkálfar are attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in the late Old Norse poem Hrafnagaldr Óðins. Scholars have produced theories about the origin and implications of the dualistic concept."
