The Slayers
The Slayers are a mixed bunch from various tribes who
have taken up the challenge of ridding the populated areas of Dragons. Mostly gathered together in small bands of four
or five, these bands are usually made
up of Dwarfs and Humans but will occasionally have the odd Goblin or Dhurni in
amongst them. A Mhurni will never become a mercenary or join them on their
travels but will tend to their wounded should the need arise. These mercenary Slayers tend to travel from settlement to settlement; trading stories of their
brave deeds for food, refreshment and lodgings. Amongst normal society, the
Slayers are revered and are always welcomed. They are graded by the amount
of fire-stones they have gathered and a ‘ten-stoner’ is considered a worthy and
skilled veteran who will be treated very well as a guest in a noble household.
There are few Slayers that ever become a ten-stoner and
fewer still who get much further but legends tell of rare veterans who have
amassed a hundred fire-stones and who went to battle in smoking suits of
power-stone armour; brandishing barbed spears and massive war-hammers.
This is a time of legends.
