LORE & BACKGROUND

Mankind has never held to a single shape, and in the Empire there are some who swell beyond the measure of their kin. Overgrown, brutish, and prodigious in size, they stand apart even among the hard folk of the frontier.

The causes of such overgrowth vary from soul to soul. The lore speaks only of the many paths by which such folk come to their immense forms, leaving the truth of each brute to rumour, fear, and whatever explanation their townsfolk can bear to believe.

In the ranks of the town guards, such strength is turned toward survival. Where townships cling to life against bandits, dark whispers, and the things that lurk beyond the firelight, brute force becomes a grim necessity. These guards are not subtle defenders, but when the gate buckles and the shield line falters, subtlety has already failed.
