Barbarian — discipline of the blade —

They call you a butcher, a murderer, a killer of people. You accept these names, as they’re not far from the truth. When someone wrongs you, you make them pay. You’re not interested in talking through your differences. You respond to force with even greater force. Only when your enemy lays gasping, blood pumping from their injuries, will they learn what it means to provoke you. You can lose control at almost any time, but the battlefield breaks whatever chains of self-control you happen to use…
