Barbarian

| ||||||||||||
Despite the number of industrialized city-states and nations that dot the landscape of the Great Continent, there are still many wild and outlying areas consisting of unexplored and untamed regions inhabited by cultures that hold firm to the traditions and beliefs of their past. Some of these regions are quite vast, populated by proud and powerful people and others are small, inhabited by simple rustic people who are satisfied with their way of life and see no need to change.
The Barbarian is a warrior who is, at his core, a survivalist, and who has tapped into the rugged primal power that infuses the world. He wields overwhelming strength by which he defeats his foes. The barbarian culture may produce any number of different classes but the Barbarian himself is the embodiment of the berserker fury inherent to the primal power of the world.
The iconic Emblem of Ea barbarian will usually hail from one of the outlying frontier areas or culturally exotic places in the world. Human, Orc and Half-Orc barbarians typically emerge from the vast realm of Dran and its regional affiliates. Sith'makar barbarians are are some of their tribes' fiercest warriors. The nation of Dran is well known for its brutal warrior traditions and mercenary armies and they have produced some of the most powerful warriors the world has ever known. To the northwest, the reaches of far-away Stormgarde produce proud warriors of a primal heritage. The enormous Giantborn emerge from both the high north of Stormgarde and the harsh Tablelands of Dran. Legendary Storm Dwarves dwell on high mountain peaks, atop their faithful griffon mounts. Human, dwarf and Jotunbrud Barbarians might emerge from these lands as well. Among the Mountain Dwarves, barbarians sometimes emerge from among their Stonesmasher and Skyhammer clans. An Lucht Siuil barbarians ride the lengths of The Vast as outriders, side by side human barbarians from the Phurai Dae tribes of horse lords and nomads.
Barbarians also often exist among the mercenary thugs, criminals and malcontents that make the depths of The Desolation their home coupled with simple rustic tribes or monstrous races that are simply trying to survive there and exist in solitude.
Bludgun harbors Ogres, Bugbears and other monstrous races well suited towards this mentality and way of fighting. By and large the elves do not take well to this particular brand of training and fighting, the Wild Elves who dwell on the outskirts of the Periantha or who roam the edge of The Vast may produce barbarians of this nature as well. Beyond these well-known lands, other stories of strange and unusual origins of barbarians also rise up in taverns. Stories abound of human children stranded in distant alien lands such as the wilds of Jammur or the jungles of the Jade Islands or the countless mountain domains of The Roof of the World. Here they are saved and raised by sentient wild animals or savage humanoids resulting in another source for Barbarians.
