Karn the Unbroken
Overview
Karn the Unbroken is a male goliath barbarian, standing seven feet of scarred muscle and inscribed with tribal marks. Born in the fighting pits of Externia, he speaks rarely and deliberately, never exceeding ten words in a clipped sentence. The will of his ancestors lives in his blood; when he rages, they rage with him.
Background
Karn left the pits because the ancestors demanded it. He found Corbin the Smelter and Rhen in a dockside tavern and declares them his new tribe. Tribes do not fracture—he will not leave them.
Combat Tactics
In battle, Karn identifies the strongest threat and engages it directly. His rage channels ancestral protectors that hinder any enemy who targets his companions. He grapples priority targets to control the field, relying on the ancestors' guidance to shield his tribe.
Rituals
Karn speaks to the ancestors every morning and night in the Goliath tongue. Nothing interrupts this ritual.
