Guild Leaders
Agonar Dokona
ALIVE
Human Male
Present Guild Leader of the Crossing Barbarian guild hall. Agonar prefers the bastard sword, but like any good Barbarian he is skilled with many weapons. Though he takes his position very seriously, according to Rushleel the barkeep Agonar is very good with the ladies. He took Bard Guildleader Silvyrfrost to Sirolarn's coronation.
Appearance - He appears as a Human of middle age, he is solid as a slab of granite, and strong and unyielding as the tallest mountain. His broad-muscled shoulders support a vest of light chain mail -- somewhat worn, but still sturdy. Numerous scars criss-cross his rippling arms, and you note heavy calluses on his hands, souvenirs of long-fought battles and endless campaigns. A heavy bastard sword hangs across his back within easy reach, and a silver neckchain catches your attention, hung with a snarling wolf worked in deepest ebony. Anhh'shre
ALIVE
S'Kra Mur Female
Present Guild Leader of the Ratha Barbarian guild hall. She prefers to go by the title "Guildmistress". Of all the Barbarian leaders Anhh'shre probably has the most disdain for magic. Just asking her about it is proof enough. She is deadly with small knives.
Appearance - Anhh'shre studies you with flashing ice-blue eyes, folding her arms languidly across her chest and affecting an air of boredom. Her muscles ripple beneath taut black scales, her minimal armor a testament to her abilities in combat or, perhaps, a subtle suggestion that few folk have considered it wise to take her on in the first place. Surprisingly slender hands toy idly with the buckle of an ornate knife belt cinched tightly around her hips. Mo Glawroak
ALIVE
Gor'Tog Male
Barbarian Guild Leader of Riverhaven guild hall and has long been an icon for Gor'Tog Barbarians. According to Yutwian, the Dance Master of the Badger Dance technique, Mo is the creator of Berserks. He also introduced Barbarians to the Whirlwind technique. Mo prefers the strength of blunt weapons. He entrusted the Riverhaven guild hall to his younger brother Les while taking a journey to look for the legendary Barbarian Telfogli. Mo resumed his duties as the Riverhaven Guild Leader after he had found Telfogli.
Appearance - Mo hefts a double-bladed broadaxe like a hatchet in his bulbous fist and gnaws on a turkey leg in the other. The bare-footed Gor'Tog seems to stare at you haughtily, glowering for no apparent reason. A brazen red tattoo in the shape of a handprint graces his hairless scalp, the palm centered atop his head with fingers straining over a crinkled brow. Dark green skin almost swallows his eyes, glimmering with hidden intelligence. Stumara
ALIVE
Dwarven Female
Present Barbarian Guild Leader of the Outer Hibarnhvidar guild hall. Her favorite things to do are forge and drink. Stumara used to reside in the Knife Clan but moved to Forfedhdar when the Outer Hibarnhvidar guild was completed. Unlike the other two female guild leaders, Stumara prefers to go by "Guildleader" rather than "Guildmistress". Her favorite weapon is a good Dwarven axe.
Appearance - Stumara is fairly tall for a female Dwarf, standing a inch or two over five feet. A few polished steel threads are woven through her beard, matching the bright steel armbands above each of her biceps. A simple leather jerkin bearing the scars and stains of years of use in the forge and bar fits her perfectly -- both in body and attitude. The belt supporting her trousers also supports a simple axe harness, holding the deadly weapon within easy reach. She tilts her head and looks back at you with a friendly grin quirking her lips and filling her dark eyes. Of course, she has a drink in her hand. If she didn't, that grin might not be showing. T'Kiel Simivi
ALIVE
Elven Female
Present Barbarian Guild Leader of the Steel Claw Clan guild hall. She prefers to go by the title "Guildmistress". T'Kiel killed a Gnome assassin named Callava for trying to steal the guild registers. Callava had hoped to use the guild registers as a hit list to kill off the guild's most prominent members. T'Kiel put her head on display in the Steel Claw Clan guild to warn others who would attempt to disgrace her halls. Alongside her sister Raellia, T'Kiel used to teach the Badger Dance technique. Raellia never forgave T'Kiel or the other Guild Leaders when her sister was chosen to be leader instead of her. T'Kiel is the third Guild Leader of the Steel Claw Clan guild hall, proceeded by the very old and powerful Elven warrior Telfogli.
Appearance - An Elven woman of youthful countenance, her emerald eyes hint at vast experience and bone-deep resolve and it is rumored that she trained with Peri'el herself. A jagged scar traces across her cheek before disappearing beneath the collar of her bodice -- somehow adding to her elegance rather than detracting from it. Dressed in soft woolen trews, calf-high boots and laced leather bodice, she is bare of jewelry save a single heavy gold chain that dangles a dragon-shaped ruby beneath her breasts. A sheathed scimitar lies across her knees and she idly toys with a rawhide garrote as she speaks.Tusfaov Caspara
ALIVE
Human Male
Present Guild Leader of the Mer'Kresh Barbarian guild hall. He is a brilliant military strategist and master tactician, some would even say the very best alive. This could in part be due to his scholarly inclinations. Tusfaov was working on a military history of M'riss and Mer'Kresh when his source documents were stolen by the pirate Aedem and other members of Shark Clan. Though he claimed to have given up on writing the military history, there is still a rich library in his guild hall. Like his ancestor, Guild Leader Sendovil Casparas, Tusfaov teaches his students a relatively unconventional approach to being a Barbarian. He feels that magic isn't to be hated or feared, it is simply too unreliable for a warrior to be his or her very best. Though the tools of a warrior are his speed, strength and weapons, a Barbarian's best utility is the mind.
Appearance - Tusfaov regards you through heavy-rimmed spectacles. Despite the studious expression, his green eyes exhibit good-natured humor and his lips quirk with a half-smile. The thick braid of his blond ponytail contrasts with the short, bristly hair at the back of his head and the smooth shaved skin above his ears. Holding a book in one hand and a dangerously sharp riste in the other, this simply-clad barbarian looks as though he'd be comfortable anyplace he found himself. Former Guild Leaders
Arilest S'Mress
PRESUMED DEAD
Elven Male
Twelfth leader of the Crossing Barbarian Guild. His portrait hangs in the Hall of Fame in the Crossing Barbarian Guild.
Appearance - The portrait depicts a young Elven man dressed in snug knit leggings and a fringed leather vest. He holds a gilded cutlass with careless ease, the tip of the blade so skillfully painted as to appear ready to leave the canvas background. A polished silver plaque mounted on the frame of the portrait identifies this as Arilest S'Mress, the twelfth leader of the Crossing's Barbarian Guild.The blade shown in the portrait is mounted on a plaque above it, the gilded blade still kept razor-sharp.
Garzzok Irk
DEAD
Human Male
Garzzok Irk was the first leader of the official Barbarian Guild and crucial to its formation. Previously Barbarians had been members of a loosely organized tribe called The Horde, governed by a Chieftain that was elected in combat. The Crossing hall was erected and the Barbarian Guild as we know it today began with Garzzok as the guild leader 750 years before the Victory of Lanival. It is said that his remains are somewhere in the Dwarven lands. Garzzok was succeeded by Nebi Grag.
Jainder Blackarm
DEAD
Elven Male
First Barbarian Guild Leader of Steel Claw Clan. His great carved chair now sits in the Steel Claw Clan Barbarian Guild at the end of the great hall, and it is said that whoever occupies it inherits Jainder's legacy and the clan. After Jainder's death the Elven warrior Telfogli rose to fill his position as Guild Leader. His grave is marked by a basalt stone etched with a simple epitaph in Gamgweth: "Jainer Blackarm - ~Diluger Naronas, Waerd Lyba~". In common it translates roughly to "Barbarian Brotherhood, Dragon Spirit". Guildmistress T'Kiel is the current occupant of Jainder's great chair.
Appearance - There is a mosaic of Jainder in the Steel Claw Clan chapel that depicts him as a stern-faced young man with eyes the color of new leaves. Slim and arrow-straight, the man is depicted with compound bow notched and drawn and, while stoic of expression, there's a glint of humor to the to the curve of his lips. Les Glawroak
ALIVE
Gor'Tog Male
The younger brother of Guild Leader Mo. When Mo went searching for the former guild leader of Steel Claw Clan, Telfogli, Les took over the Riverhaven guild hall as Guild Leader until Mo's return. Like his brother, Les seems to prefer using blunt weapons.
Appearance - Les towers over you, his beady eyes the only recognizable feature of his disfigured face. His malformed mouth is perpetually scowling, a short chain of saliva hanging from the corner of his lips. Hundreds of scars cut across the dusky green skin of his enormous frame. The four mangled fingers of his right hand clutch a crude iron-banded club, which he occasionally slaps against his other hand. Clad in only a tattered pair of brocade trousers, the raised brand of an "7" can be clearly seen on his chest. Despite all of his deformities, Les seems fit and on edge, ready for battle. Marigon do'Manthren
DEAD
Gor'Tog Male
Marigon do'Manthren was the seventh Guild Leader of the Crossing Barbarian guild hall. A portrait of him hangs in the Crossing guild Hall of Fame.
Appearance - This portrait portrays a vigorous middle-aged Gor'Tog man dressed in a brown leather loincloth. His hands are clenched around a pearl-pommeled bastard sword, holding it over his head as if to lop through your neck. A plaque beneath the portrait identifies this as Marigon do'Manthren, the seventh leader of the Crossing's Barbarian Guild. The blade shown in the portrait is mounted on a plaque above it, the gleaming steel blade still kept razor-sharp.Nebi Grag
PRESUMED DEAD
Dwarven Male
Second leader of the Crossing Barbarian Guild. He succeeded the seat of leadership after the death of Garzzok Irk, the first leader and founder of the official Barbarian Guild.
Nordith Lorrimer
PRESUMED DEAD
Human Female
Fifth leader of the Crossing Barbarian Guild. Her portrait hangs in the Hall of Fame in the Crossing Barbarian Guild.
Appearance - The portrait depicts a silver-haired Human woman dressed in a pair of kidskin leggings and a thigh length tunic cinched by a wide turquoise-clasped belt. She wields a horseman's hammer, one side blunt, the other a vicious looking spike to pry a foe out of his or her armor. The metal of the hammer gleams against the folds of dark blue velvet in the painting's background. A polished silver plaque mounted on the frame of the portrait identifies this as Nordith Lorrimer, the fifth leader of the Crossing's Barbarian Guild. The hammer shown in the portrait is mounted on a plaque above it, the wickedly spiked mallet kept polished and ready for use.Obinae
DEAD
Gor'Tog Female
Second leader of the Riverhaven guild hall. Obinae took command of the Riverhaven Barbarians after the death of Ssavkrid and the disaster of the first Riverhaven guild hall. It had been built in the city limits and was destroyed by a storm, killing the guild leader in the collapse of the roof. The remaining warriors battled bitterly over who would be the next guild leader. Not wishing to have his city destroyed the Mayor of Riverhaven ordered the rabble of Barbarians out of the city and to take their mess with them. Obinae, a very small (for a Gor'Tog) Barbarian woman, was the surprise victor for succession. She had the new guild hall built outside the city using the materials of the destroyed guild. The present day guild is the result of her efforts.
Telfogli Aldergold
ALIVE
Elven Male
Was the second Barbarian Guild Leader of Steel Claw Clan appointed just after the Zoluren Civil War. He resigned after 100 years of leading the Hall because he felt he'd been leading his guild too long, and that without a change of leadership the guild could not progress. Telfogli was proceeded by Jainder Blackarm and succeeded by T'Kiel Simivi. He remained active within the guild after resigning and then suddenly disappeared. At the time of the war with Lyras there was a debate between the present Barbarian guildleaders about whether the guild should lead the front lines of the battle. The more conserative leaders voted against it and a decision could not be reached. Between a meeting between Agonar and Mo they agreed that Telfogli must be found to cast his vote and settle the dispute. There was speculation between the guild leaders about the reasons for his disappearance from public view, and that perhaps he had fallen to the whims of the vile necromancer Lyras.
With increasing urgency to know his whereabouts, Guildleader Mo went in search of the Elven warrior. His journey took him many places, and finally to Mer'kresh. According to Guildleader Tusfaov, Telfogli had no qualms about using surprise tactics and was known for being able to vanish, something that often bothered his guild mates. This made it particularly difficult for Guildleader Mo to find him. Tusfaov also informed him that Telfogli had liked to take trips north to go poaching wild creatures. Mo set out to search around Leth Deriel for the Legendary warrior. After many months of searching Mo found Telfogli, or rather Telfogli's arrows found him. The resigned Guild Leader was not pleased at having been stalked down. After Agonar and Mo explained the quarrel between the guild leaders over the matter of Lyras, he was appeased and gave his advice. He decided that the guild leaders had a responsibility to their halls, and could not lead an attack, but instead that it was to the discretion of each individual Barbarian to decide his or her place in the war. Above all, the Guild Leaders had a duty to their young students to remain at the halls and it is a responsiblity they cannot ignore. Telfogli promised to remain in contact with the Barbarian Guild, should his counsel be needed again.Appearance - Piercing blue eyes gaze out from beneath a stern brow, which is broken at the edge by an old scar that runs from the edge of his eye and down to his square-shaped jaw. His white hair is peppered with streaks of grey, framing his angular face. Both of his well-toned arms are covered with an assortment of old scars and his lean figure speaks of many past battles.Although he is in excellent shape, he still looks quite old, even for an Elf.
Sendovil Casparas
DEAD
Human Male
Sendovil Casparas is an ancestor of the current Mer'Kresh guildleader Tusfaov. Records of his rule are found in the book "Maiori's Journeys". He was noted to be unconventional by most Barbarian standards, as the Rissan guild members often are. Sendovil taught that magic was to be neither hated nor feared, but was simply too unreliable for a warrior trying to reach his ultimate potential. He felt that though brute strength, speed, and weaponry are to be mastered a Barbarian's ultimate weapon is his or her mind. His ideals are still taught in the present day Mer'Kresh guild by his descendent Guild Leader Tusfaov Caspara.
Appearance - (As quoted by Maiori's Journeys) "A dark-haired Human man, face wrinkled with laugh lines and green eyes alert."Ssavkrid Runan
DEAD
S'Kra Mur Male
First guild leader of the Riverhaven guild hall. In an attempt to settle the nomadic Barbarians of the region Ssavkrid hired a construction crew from Ratha to build a guild hall within the city limits. They worked quickly, and for a good price but apparently with either carelessness or bad fortune. Not long after the hall was opened a great storm blew in and ripped the roof off the building. To add insult to injury, the roof landed on Ssavkrid and killed him instantly. The now leaderless and hall-less rabble of Barbarians began a vicious fight over who would be the next leader. Things got so out of control the Mayor himself ordered the Barbarians out of town, and to take their mess with them. Perhaps taking his orders too literally, the Barbarians dragged the remains of the destroyed hall and build a new one outside of town using the same materials. Through skill in combat a Gor'Tog woman named Obinae assumed leadership of the "new" guild hall.
Barbarians of Legend
Bear Orso
DEAD
Male
King Bear, or "Ray" as he like to be informally called, was the owner of a relic called "The Croc's Jawbone". King Bear was a crafty Barbarian warlord in a land where might belonged to all, but brains and patience to very few. He inherited little, but joined together by the time of his death a proud, fierce nation of tribes. They briefly conquered one-quarter the known world until internal squabbles and the sophistication of conquered cultures led to its demise. How he acquired the Jawbone is a matter of legend. He said that the Croc's Jawbone had been announced in a prophecy as belonging to the One who would lead all barbarians to their greater glory. The Archimandrite Nikos Orsus agreed in the matter of the prophecy, though the fact that he was Bear's younger brother probably raised some unspoken doubts in a few clanmembers. At the time of Bear's death the Jawbone vanished. Some claimed it went to his first son, Varus Orso, who was treacherously slain in a mountain pass returning from his father's funeral by an erstwhile ally. Others say the Croc's Jawbone was withdrawn to the Gods until a worthy successor might be revealed...or that it was reverently buried with King Bear. The latter has resulted in many attempts to locate Bear's Tomb, though all such expeditions have met with failure to date. Whether magical or not, the Croc's Jawbone would be an artifact of great power should it ever return, since its wielder would instantly claim the allegiance of many scattered barbarian communities everywhere.
Gorathrumal
DEAD
Dwarven Male
Chieftan Gorathrumal was killed defending a small group of Dwarven settlers against a Dragon Priest raid, his berserk was bolstered by the Great Warrior Everild himself, lasting until he was coated in the blood of the attackers, every last one of their bodies torn open at his feet. Upon beheading the last to face him, his rage suddenly departed and he fell dead, his hands still clenched around his axe. Today the Axe of Gorathrumal is a priceless relic to Barbarians and is on display in the Hall of Warriors in Uthranalak's cave on Hara'Jaal.
Kalenthia
DEAD
Elothean Female
An Elothean whose aim was almost as legendary as the fire that burned in her jade eyes. Master of the Eagle Dance, her handcarved arrows always sung true, their keening pitch alerting enemies to her presence when it was too late to do anything other than realize their own doom. Her shadowy war bow is a priceless relic to Barbarians and is on display in the Hall of Warriors in Uthranalak's cave on Hara'Jaal.
Maiori
DEAD
Gor'Tog Male
Maiori was a powerful Barbarian warrior who led many battles during the dark time the Dragon Priests were first invading the mainlands. He is greatly praised for his humility, persistence, and military brilliance that helped turn the tide against the destructive force of the Priests. Memoirs of his journal, particularly his first experience with the unconventional teachings of Guild Leader Sendovil can be found in the library book called "Maiori's Journeys" in the Mer'Kresh guildhall library.
Saronathien
PRESUMED DEAD
Elven Male Barbarian
WeaponMaster Saronathien was reknowned creator of the free-flowing Elven style of fencing. Never once touched in single combat, he refused to kill any member of the seven races; instead attempting to teach the unity of being required to be a true master of the blade, and one's own self. When Teiro threatened to press him into war, he gave his blade to his wife and walked into the forests of Bosque Deriel, never to be seen again. His gleaming iltetsh is a priceless relic to the Barbarian guild and is on display in the Hall of Warriors in Uthranalak's cave on Hara'Jaal.
Silver Leopard
DEAD
Gor'Tog Male
According to the Gor'Togs, the Barbarian warrior Silver Leopard beat the demon Kaldukar at wrestling. The price Silver Leopard extracted for Kaldukar's release was a special drum. When it is played, the drum calls forth the enemies of the musician. There is no guessing which enemy will arrive, or how many. They simply and immediately appear, fighting to the death. The Drum of Kaldukar is a highly sought after relic.

Weranac
DEAD
Human Male
Lost to his tribe for ten years after embarking upon a vision quest to pass into manhood, Savage Weranac stumbled back from the desert at death's door, wearing only a stained leather breastplate upon his Human frame. Just before life fled from his eyes, he managed to gasp in a madness that had owned him for years upon years, "The Touch of the Dragon." Supposedly scalding to the touch, the armor has never been worn by another, despite claims by mages that there is absolutely nothing "magical" about it. His breastplate is a priceless relic to Barbarians. It is on display in the Hall of Warriors in Uthranalak's cave on Hara'Jaal.
Zoratha
DEAD
Female Gor'Tog
One glance at her massive warhammer and you can almost hear the deafening roars offered to Kuniyo by Warlord Zoratha, leading her Gor'Tog tribe from the north towards The Crossing to attack the invading Dragon Priests. The first ever female to take leadership of a Barbarian tribe, she challenged her husband to ritualistic combat upon hearing of his decision to not war in defense of Crossing, and bested him after a daylong battle. She led the southern march upon the next dawn, her husband by her side. Her massive steel-handled warhammer is a priceless relic to Barbarians and is on display in the Hall of Warriors in Uthranalak's cave on Hara'Jaal.

ALIVE
Male Human
Charak is a Barbarian warrior and hermit who wanders around Pokekehekepi beach carrying a steel battle axe. The Guildleaders say the isolation suits his temperament.

Cunning Barbarian woman who lives north of Shard in the Dragon's Breath Forest and teaches Barbarians the Panther Dance technique.
Appearance - You see a lithe Prydaen Warrior waiting patiently at the opposite edge of the circle, silver streaks in an otherwise black mane complementing her brilliant silver eyes. She shifts slightly, moving in her hunting leathers as if she had been born in them. Her exposed claws gleam in the dim light, and you hold no doubts as to how those training models received their scars.Uthranalak
ALIVE
Dwarven Male
Very old Barbarian who lives in a secluded cave on Hara'Jaal and teaches the Dragon Dance technique. He wields the great Axe of Gorathrumal and is by far the most skilled of the Dance Masters.
Appearance - A tremendous mane of unkempt white hair frames eyes blacker than the onyx walls that enclose this place, Uthranalak returning your gaze with a patience and calm that are almost unsettling. Garbed only in a bone-colored loincloth, the broad shoulders and corded muscles of this bearded Dwarf rest easily beneath his oddly pale skin.Yutwian Thalveir
ALIVE
Gnome Male
Barbarian who lives in the Steel Claw Clan guild hall and teaches Badger Dance technique. Yutwian took over teaching the dance when its previous master Raellia turned her back on the guild after her sister T'Kiel had been chosen to lead the Steel Claw Clan guild hall. Raellia had hired Yutwian's sister Callava to steal the guild registers and kill the names on them, a plot which failed and led to Callava's death. After his sister's death, Yutwian assumed the position of dance master, taking the place of the very woman who he blamed for Callava's destruction. Though it was T'Kiel who did the actual killing Yutwian bears her no ill will. In fact he holds the Guildmistress in very high regard. His favorite thing to do besides teaching the Badger Dance seems to be target practice. He appears to be quite skilled with a throwing dagger. He has a snippily sense of humor and has something to say, be it good or bad, about all the other Dance Masters.

ALIVE
Human Female
Asmara Malhara is a skilled Barbarian of many talents. She is co-owner along with her husband Scynn of "The True Path", a Barbarian festival tent that featured roar helms, voice recovery booze, intimidation cloaks, and an assortment of Barbarian themed items. Along with her husband Scynn, they introduced berserk shark teeth to Barbarians at a private ceremony. She often showed up at the guild halls and did alterations for Barbarians, which were particularly valued because she and her husband would create things that would make most merchants squeamish. Asmara and her husband mentioned on occasion about the tribe they came from, but would not part with many details to outsiders. The visible mark of their membership was written on their skin, or rather burned into it. Each carried a unique brand on their bodies that was both beautiful and terrible to behold.

Very old Barbarian merchant and forger who exclusively made forge Maker's Marks for Barbarians. He also had a tent at the Ice Festival called "Palactra House of Fine Forgery".

Cnyr Malhara
ALIVE
Human Male
Brewer of Barbarian voice recovery drinks that sell in the festival tent "The True Path". He is the brother of Scynn. He was not often seen around The True Path, to which Scynn blamed on Cnyr always "testing his wares".
Kronwif
DEAD
Gnome Male
Owner of the festival wagon "Fiery Souls" that featured Inner Fire weapons, special pieces that only Barbarians can wield, or even touch. He carefully guarded the secret of how he forged these special weapons. The only possible clue was a tightly locked cabinet in his sales wagon from which a mysterious scrap of shimmering material could be seen. He will carry the secret of his weapons to the grave however, for he died shortly after the opening of his shop when the volcano at the Magma Falls festival erupted. Some blame the eruption itself on Kronwif and whatever secrets he stole from the mountain to forge his weapons.
Appearance - You see Merchant of Death Kronwif, a Gnome Barbarian. Kronwif has black eyes. He is bald, with dark brown skin. He is young for a Gnome.Osgeth
ALIVE
Human Male
Osgeth owns a festival tent that sells war paint for Barbarians and is the absolute authority on the art of war paint. For a lucky few he made some custom paints.

For some reason he never explained, he has a disdain for dragons and will not incorporate them in his custom warpaint designs.
Appearance - You see Master Warpainter Osgeth, a Human. He has an angular face with blue-grey eyes and a crooked nose. He has cropped black hair and weathered skin and a wiry build. Complex angular patterns of deep blue warpaint cover almost every inch of his body. He is a bit over average height for a Human. He is venerable for a Human.Satfiki
ALIVE
Female Prydaen
Satfiki is an alterer who only works with player skinned creature parts. She will work with additions to most soft containers, clothing, and the like. She can add adornments to most weapons, though she absolutely cannot adjust the quality or makeup of the weapon in any way. As a Barbarian she will not touch anything magical. Satfiki first made her appearance around the time of the Festival of the Gods. She was one of the unfortunate people standing too close to the festival grounds when a huge mechanical spider operated by a rabble of Gnomes literally crashed into the festival. Satfiki's skull was crushed by one of the giant machine's legs right in front of her customers. Needless to say the bystanders were still eager to get their alterations done and had her taken to a cleric immediately.
Appearance - You see Savage Artisan Satfiki, a Prydaen Barbarian. Satfiki has pointed ears and cat-slitted silver eyes. She has a cropped red mane, with dark brown fur with silver points and a slender tail. She is young for a Prydaen.Scynn Malhara
ALIVE
Human Male
Barbarian co-owner with his wife Asmara of the Barbarian festival tent "The True Path" that has made several appearances throughout time. Both sell roar helms, roar cloaks, voice recovery booze, and assorted Barbarian items. Along with Asmara, Scynn has been known to show up at the guild and do alterations for Barbarians. Alterations done by the warrior duo were especially prized because they would create items that would make other merchants squeamish. Scynn and Asmara mentioned on occasion about the tribe they came from, but would not part with many details to outsiders. The visible mark of their membership was written on their skin, or rather burned into it. Each carried a unique brand on their bodies that was both beautiful and terrible to behold. Scynn is the brother of Cnyr Malhara who makes Barbarian voice recovery booze.
Appearance - You see Fist of Trothfang Scynn Malhara, a Human Barbarian. He has dark green eyes. A black feather and some carved yellowed ivory beads are tied into his black hair.

Skilled Barbarian craftsman and the only known living person who is able to work with the rare mineral chakrel that is so valuable to Barbarians. He has a permanent shop open in the Crossing Barbarian guild hall called "Vishlan's Wares" that features Barbarian themed items and some rough chakrel stone amulets. Only occasionally does Vishlan open his festival wagon where he sells the much sought after perfect chakrel amulets that allow Barbarians to determine their inner fire levels instantly. On these occasions Vishlan has even been known to specially alter chakrel amulets for his guild mates. While Vishlan was moving his wagon to the Festival of the Gods in Hibarnhvidar a barrel of chakrel ore was stolen.
