He was intimidated by the Dwarf’s bearing—and his large, rune-carved axe. “So, manling,” said the Dwarf, “you think you have what it takes to join my expedition to Zhufbar, eh? Do you even have a weapon?” “I do,” Gerd said defiantly, unwrapping his sword. “The Dwarf grabbed it out of his hands and unsheathed it. “This antique?” he scoffed. “What mantlepiece did you steal this from?” Gerd winced. “It was my uncle’s sword. He was a soldier in the Army of Averland.” The Dwarf tossed the blade back at him. Gerd caught it by its hilt. Without warning the Dwarf swung his axe at Gerd, who parried it deftly as his uncle had shown him. The Dwarf seemed pleased. “Good,” he said. “You’ve got reflexes. But do you have any experience?” “Goblins attacked my family’s farm,” began Gerd. “My kin were killed but I survived. The goblins didn’t.” The Dwarf spat. “Goblin scum. We’ll avenge ourselves on them sevenfold on this expedition.” “You mean, I’m in?” asked Gerd, his voice tinged with excitement. For the first time, the Dwarf smiled. “You’re in, lad. Now let’s sharpen that sword. Zhufbar awaits.”

d esCrIpTIon A priest who has consistently upheld the tenets of his church is chosen by his God to take on greater power and responsibility. Anointed Priests are gifted with the Divine Lore of the deity they serve and consequently, they’re expected to take on challenges suitable to their new blessings. They often have all the attributes that their God admires, acting as beacons of faith to others in the Old World. Anointed Priests are greatly trusted by the common folk, who will often listen to them over both Nobles and Politicians, granting them a great deal of temporal power to complement the spiritual.
