Archer

Hailing from an almost all female Ice community in the mountains known as Badre, The archers learn and hone their incredible skills with the bow. Though their civilization is frozen, the air is warm from blessings earned by the spirits. They hear the voices of the wind and as such learn to become great archers as they believe it is the epitome of combat. It is believed that Archers breasts evolved to be smaller so as to not interfere with archery.

The males of the society are different from the females in such that many of them have given up the usual ways and have gone off to practice archery not as a tradition but as a sport and to make a living. There is much animosity amongst the clans and as such they have even developed techniques specifically for killing members of the opposite clan.

Female Archers have also won the yearly award for ‘Most Adorable Demon Race’ for the last 1,756 years.
