*"You there! Have you come to fight? Ah ... you are cleverer than you look, I think. There is strength in your arms, but will it be enough? If you would be mighty, you must needs learn the ways of the Invorri, for there are none mightier. Can you claim the blood of Torvald? We shall see ..."*

*Mighty warriors renowned for their strength and inhuman stamina, barbarians often wander far from their homelands, hoping to heap glory on their names through brave deeds and feats of arms. Some are grim and silent, some jovial and friendly, others crude, gruff and arrogant. All barbarians see themselves as superior to the other men of the world, the rightful owners of anything they can take by force, and bound to a destiny written down before time began. Coupled with their physical toughness, their belief in predestination leaves them unafraid of death, and thus all the more fearsome in battle.*
