The Warriors

The Warriors Guild was founded to work within the city of Parrius, to uphold the ideal of the primacy of freedom. The Warriors hold their honour dear and their word sacred.


Deity: Thor, the god of thunder
Founded: 1st of Skyelong 883 by Conan
Location: West Central Parrius
Profession: Knight
Alignment: Good/Neutral

Introduction

The Knight is a physical combatant. He or she is concerned with the study of physical prowess (weapons, melee, swordplay, endurance) rather than over the airy magical realms. Consider the Knight profession if you are fast, quick-witted or aggressive, but keen to keep simple and effective. They are strong in combat both offensively and defensively though rely on good maintenance of weapons, armour and equipment.

The Warriors are masters of sword-fighting and combat. They share their origins with the Knights of Mercinae; they were formed recently in the 8th Century by Conan of Parrius. This remarkable gentlelman burned with desire to build his own order in Parrius, having served a long term as guildmaster of the Knights. By his toil and worth efforts the guild was built - all but brick-by-brick by his own hands. Years later the Warriors grow from strength to strength. Many of the heroes and Barons of Parrius have been trained their halls. They retain strong and friendly links with the Knights of Mercinae and other goodly guilds.

Words from Conan, the first guildmaster

If in your heart you feel the call of battle, the wish to fight with trusty steel, then join the Warriors. Those with honour, courage, self-discipline and dedication will succeed mightily in this guild, those without those traits will fail.

Words from Curor, the current guildmaster

All about you is the roar of battle, your foes fall before the might of your onslaught, you are the Warrior. The warriors care little for the high strung codes of the Knight or the Caviler. We live day to day for the clash of swords and the ring of battle. We are tied closely in the bonds of friendship and enjoy a good joke, but don't take our free-spiritedness as weakness, else you meet the end of our swords. We may share the same skills as the Knight or the Caviler, but we lack the strict discipline and adherence to the rules that the other guilds that share our skills. We are the proud Warriors, we fight for Parrius and for the Storm!
