Timoran Wrath By Kayla Matt
- If someone outside of the tribe calls you names then smile and offer to buy them a drink. If they insult the tribe then loom over them and give off an intimidating presence. If they insult your parents or spouse then put them through the bar. Remember to pay for damages.
- Do not assume every person you meet in a bar can handle the wilder brews that barbarians enjoy. Dwarves and orcs are a safe bet, but the other races can be rather fragile. Give a polite warning and offer a bucket if they insist. Be very insistent for those who have long hair.
- Weapon maintenance should be done daily. In the morning is preferable in case you need to change your schedule for repairs. One never knows when they will be called to battle or a hunt. Last thing you want is your axe to break or prove to be too dull in the middle of a fight. Partially because it can get you killed and also because the blacksmiths are always ready to give lectures.
- Never awaken your rage unless absolutely necessary. That is a special gift given to barbarians and it should not be abused. The shamans are more than willing to tell Brock the Barbarian God about your shameful actions, which means you’re getting a nightmare. So use your regular intimidation and destructive responses when you feel slighted.
- Do NOT laugh at casters. Seriously, it doesn’t end well. Especially those new ones calling themselves channelers. They’re the barbarians of casters.
- Respect your elders, especially when they wish to teach you something. It could be about shearing sheep or taming snow tigers. Perhaps it is a discussion on their favorite book. The point is that they earned the right to be listened to and also have the right to knock sense into the younger generations. Grandparents of the tribe carry those big canes for more than walking.
- Never fake your scars or try to earn them on purpose. These are supposed to marks of great feats and should never be forced. Teasing a snow tiger into attacking you is a sign of stupidity. Be patient and your scars will come. There is always a battle in a tribe’s future.
picked up on how it’s become darker. Yet there’s still some humor in there to prevent things from going entirely over the edge.
