Introduction

On the northernmost edge of Abalathia's Spine exists a mountain tribe renowned for producing fearsome mercenaries. Wielding greataxes and known as warriors, these men and women learn to harness their inner-beasts and translate that power to unbridled savagery on the battlefield. In former times which saw war waged ceaselessly in Eorzea, the warriors featured prominently on the frontlines of battle. With the arrival of peacetime, however, their art has descended into the shadows of obscurity, where it remains to this day.

Lore

On the northernmost edge of Abalathia’s Spine exists a mountain tribe renowned for producing fearsome mercenaries. Known as warriors, these greataxe-wielding men and women learn to harness their inner beasts and translate that power into unbridled savagery on the battlefield.

History

The only text known to have recorded the history and techniques of the warrior is thought to have been penned more than five centuries ago. No knowledge of warriors previous to this time has ever been unearthed—the true origin of the clan’s fighting style obscured beneath the dust of ages past.

No matter their beginnings, however, in the era when the city-states traded in naught but discord and strife, the mountain tribespeople who fought with the unbridled ferocity of wild beasts were highly valued as mercenary conscripts. But despite the many victories warriors earned upon the battlefield, their esteem was tarnished by accounts of frothing berserkers lost to the red haze of carnage—tales of those who had slaughtered friend just as readily as foe. As hostilities between nations gradually shifted towards peace, the fearsome presence of a warrior, once so welcome in times of war, became a thing to shun. And though it is said that some vestige lives on through a remote clan in Abalathia’s Spine, the art of the warrior has now all but faded from the world.

Equipment

Fighter's Armor

A warrior’s garb, ensorcelled to bind one’s inner beast more closely to the sword hand. Examples of such trappings are to be found throughout Eorzea, for an ancient code demanded that when a warrior betook herself to gentler pursuits, her axe be beaten into ploughshare and her armor bound to the land where its erstwhile owner experienced her hero’s journeys.

Bravura

A battleaxe from the lost forges of Abalathia’s Spine. Rich in leavings of fallen stars, the mountains were once home to blacksmith clans who developed secret techniques to work these sky-metals in living crucibles of molten rock. Alas, a secret too jealously kept is knowledge destined for oblivion; when the last of the clans died out, so did the method.

Parashu

This greataxe is said to have been the favored weapon of a tragic warrior who, in a frenzy of bloodlust, mistakenly struck down his closest companion. While the chain wrapped around the blade serves the purpose of ensnaring enemy weapons, the unusual adornment is primarily thought to symbolize the oath made by the grieving warrior to never again raise the axe in battle. Parashu is notoriously difficult to wield due to its monstrously heavy blade and terrible balance, but the one who masters its cumbersome weight commands a force of untold destruction.

Ravager's Armor

This leather armor of ancient design is thought to have belonged to a warrior-clan mercenary. Though the armor has been carefully preserved by avid collectors, the history of its creation has not well survived the intervening years. Experts believe the distinct patterns to be of Hellsguard origin, and a thorough examination by the Thaumaturges’ Guild revealed some manner of enchantment woven with the blood of beastkin. This enchantment is assumed to serve the purpose of inciting one’s inner beast in a manner similar to the sorcery bound within the Fighter’s Armor.

Tricks of the Trade

  • Land Waker: By slamming her axe down with tremendous force, the warrior causes a shockwave which crystallizes the gathered aether of her companions into a solid bulwark. Upon executing this technique, it appears as if the ground itself rises to form a protective wall.
  • Steel Cyclone: The signature attack of the warrior, this spinning swing visits destruction upon every enemy within axe-reach. For those caught in its fury, the technique must seem aptly named indeed.
  • Infuriate: A war cry that infuses the warrior with frenzied energy and intimidates her enemies with its raw power. This technique primes the warrior to summon forth her inner beast.
  • Fell Cleave: A devastating attack devised by the legendary Mythril Heart. Upon successfully creating this technique, the eighty-year old was heard to pronounce that he had finally come halfway on the road to becoming a warrior.

Curious Gorge

Born in Abalathia’s Spine to the descendants of warriors, Curious Gorge is a young Hellsguard who seeks to restore the glory of his ancestors. Along with his brother, Broken Mountain, he strives to unlock the secrets of ancient techniques and master the all-but-forgotten art of the warrior. Some years after his elder sibling had departed their homeland to share their martial knowledge with the rest of Eorzea, Curious Gorge tired of merely training, and left the mountains to put his skills into practice. He joined the acclaimed Company of Heroes, where his fledgling talents soon reached their full potential. Though the company disbanded following the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Curious Gorge continued his mercenary career, taking every opportunity to reintroduce himself during training, Broken Mountain has also endeavored to master rudimentary conjury from their settlement’s healer.

Broken Mountain

The elder brother of Curious Gorge. Protective and supportive of his younger sibling, Broken Mountain shares the same dream of restoring the way of the warrior to prominence. His dedication and prowess have been proven through his almost entirely solitary efforts at deciphering his ancestors’ writings, as well as his mastery of the techniques thus revealed. Broken Mountain left his brother behind to spread the word of the warrior across Eorzea, but his pilgrimage has been plagued with unrelenting difficulty.

Inner Beast

A warrior’s inner beast is the source of her strength—the snarling vigor by which all her techniques are fueled. By inciting this dormant ferocity, the warrior becomes capable of incredible feats beyond the ken of the most disciplined soldier. When awakened by one unaccustomed to its savagery, however, the beast takes over, leading the hapless fighter on a rampage of uncontrolled violence.

Ancient Tome

The text that currently holds the accumulated history and techniques of the warrior clan is a one-hundred year old work, scribed from a source that would be five times as ancient were it still in existence. With its words penned on cracked parchment in the old Roegadyn tongue, anyone seeking to translate its secrets faces a decidedly uphill battle. [1]

Warrior’s Panoply

Brutar Visor

Though most warriors prefer visored helms, some few choose to wear the visor alone. In either case, the ability to conceal the eyes is paramount, for it prevents other combatants from knowing if and when the warrior has awakened the beast within. That, and protecting his eyes, obviously.

Brutal Gauntlets

While a warrior’s gauntlets do, of course, protect hands and arms from gashes and welts, they are designed to be weapons in their own right, as well. To this end, some are outfitted with blades, spikes, or even lengths of chain.

Brutal Lorica

A warrior’s body armor is significantly less developed than the full plate preferred in Ul’dah or Ishgard. With a leather-lined metal chestplate as its primary defensive feature, it better resembles the cuirasses and loricae of ages past than it does the streamlined battlegarb of modern day.

Form & Function

Hidden upon Abalathia’s Spine, there is a Hellsguard village where the art of the warrior still thrives—its practitioners learning the means to unleash their inner beast and embrace the illimitable power it grants them. To facilitate this freeing of bloodlust, the warrior’s armor is traditionally censorcelled—marked on the inside with a seal of blood harvested from his own kills and enchanted by means known only to shamans of the same clan. The armor itself is commonly made with two materials to which the clan ascribes deep, esoteric meaning: meteoric iron forged over lava, and the pelts of savage animals. They believe both the lava and iron to be imbued with Hydaelyn’s life force, and therefore capable of enhancing vitality when worn on one’s person. Pelts are incorporated not only as a show of respect for lives taken, but also to heighten a warrior’s ability to draw upon the beast within. Thus is a warrior's armor inseparable from the culture that gave rise to his art. [2]
