The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Warrior
Slayer
Dwarfs who have lost their honor swear a solemn oath to die in heroic battle and become
Slayers. They dye their beards and hair orange, fashion them into a crest and
travel the world with nothing but an axe, looking for a glorious death - the only means
by which they can wash away their disgrace.
Outcasts in the eyes of all other dwarfs, they never speak of the circumstances that led
to the loss of their honor. Shunned and exiled, they dedicate the entire fiber of their
being to the hardest and most destructive life of battle in search of redemption.
Unfortunately, this tenacity and determination often results in a far more fearsome and
capable warrior, which in turn compounds their burden - the longer a Slayer lives, the more
shame they carry, resulting in dour, unfriendly, and downright bad tempered individuals.
