Barbarians

Barbarians are known to be more Savage than even the Amazons are a collection of men and women for their brutal size and Strength. Most Barbarians range from different color hair styles and normal hair color, as well as eyes, and at times have tan or darker skin color. They live in the Wilds of the mountain Forest and Jungles living isolated in their own hidden tribes. Some have traveled as far as the coldest tips of the North and span as far southern islands in tribes. How the Tribes were separated is said of an Ancient Myth during the War that all Barbarians joined in the War of the Gods and traveled with the allies of the Past to many different lands and places having learned of their new homes Environment and mastering it. Barbarians are brutal Fighters and Brawlers making them ready for combat.

Barbarians are seen as savages for the small amount of clothing they wear or wearing the many skins of animals. Their pride for fighting is as good as the weapons they carry. Each Tribe has a different skill from where they are and only two known Tribes exist although very smaller tribes do exist but consider themselves part of the Tribe closest in Region. To the North are the Clarden's a People whom live in the Frosty Mountain peaks and forge making Weapons of Steel. They are known to make unspeakable weapons of tough metal yet the weapons are two handed or very heavy. To the Southern Regions are the Blood Runners a Tribe of aggressive lethal Savages who's Strength and build is not as Athletic as those of the north and spent their Days in the Wild Lands running around in the Savannah are of the Southern Continent. They Say Blood Runners thirst for Battle and Wrestling the Wild Animals make them ferociously strong. They live in the northern isle of the Southern Continent and are dubbed as the Cannibal Village for all the raw meat they consume and occasionally their enemies.

The Barbarian Race believes and has faith in the Goddess Valkyrie the Goddess of Battle. But the Blood Runners respect her but believe in the fiery God called Mars the Supreme War God. They say that these two Gods were once married but that tale is but a Myth it seems. Both Barbarian clans Worship both Gods equally and feel empowered by them. Their Society base on their Gods makes them a very Warrioristic and Battle Ready Race. They yearn for fight makes them dangerous at times especially if one falls into Berserk or Blood Rage.

The Clarden Tribe has many skills in Forging Metals and is known to make heavy and durable Metal Works. They enjoy fashioning items of power from Metal and Leather. They say that even the Dwarves are Jealous of the Clarden's technique to forge durable weapons that can't even be broken unless by the strength of a Dragon or Magic. The Clarden live in the Northern most regions on a Continent known as the Northern Tundra with in Midguard. This place is deeply cold and frosty as if winter dominates the region vigilantly. But the Clarden's Leathers and Skins keep them warm and most live close by the Hot Springs of the Northern Tundra where things grow and live. Through the tough winters many have learned to survive the harsh wilderness of the Tundra and remain strong and skilled at their homes. Clarden are known to train bare skin down to their bear undergarments in the harsh winter to build endurance against frostbite.

The Blood Runners live out in the Wild open savannah's were many can see some Monsters Breed and fight Ferocious Beasts. They spend their day hunting and gathering the remains of their Challengers. Using everything even the bone to decorate or use at their homes. They prize trophies collecting the Skulls of their advisories they kill by themselves and consuming the heart of their beast with a bite to show respect to their gods for power. It is their tradition that in Party hunting that the one that lays the last blow to kill the beast deserves the skull. The stronger the Enemy the more prized the skull is to the one who gives the final blow but it is said that the one who gives the final blow that kills their enemy does not work in battling with them and reserves themselves is seen cowardly and given the skull with a crack in it as an insult to he or she and their family. They also believe eating the heart of their Enemy in stores wisdom and power to their souls aside from giving their respects to their gods hoping to gain the knowledge of their enemy. This holds true as it has been seen that after the Ferocious defeat of near death only makes a Blood Runner Stronger as they consume the heart. Consuming the Heart of their prey grants them little wisdom of their adversary but seems to give them some of their enemy’s skill. They stay from that of magic fearing it and finding it deadlier than any sword. Blood Runners also prize having one of them as Shaman seeing it as a respect to Master the Deadly Style of Magic this way and so the tribe is not harass by spirits or those of magic. Often the Blood Runner Tribe is seen mating with some of the Southern Island Amazon Tribes having shown they are wild and strong makes them first picks for matting rights. But it is rare a Blood Runner is accepted into the Amazon Tribe and at times they women go with the men to live in their own village or small clans around the Northern Island.
