BATTLE BATTLERAGERS RAGERS VILLAGE VILLAGERS TAHREN 'BATTLE RAGERS' DRILLMASTER COMMANDER (3043)

The ancient betrayal of the anti-magic army by the Mages of Order during the 
Chaos wars led to the formation of the BattleRagers, a dedicated group who 
seek the utter obliteration of the sources of magic and those who practice the 
arcane arts.  Deemed the most proficient students of combat from the 
Guildhalls of warriors, thieves, assassins, rangers and bards, BattleRagers 
have dedicated their lives to the study of warfare, and focused that study and 
their rage upon the destruction of magic.  Villagers are proud to rely soley 
upon their own battle prowess as they wage their war, and eschew the use of 
priestly blessings in all but the most limited capacity.

The BattleRagers are divided into three paths: Defenders, Scouts and 
Berserkers.  Defenders are dedicated to the rudimentary battlefield healing 
arts and protection of their fellow Villagers in combat.  Scouts are primarily 
focused on stealth, gathering vital information about the enemies of the 
Village, and exploiting that information during combat.  Berserkers thrive on 
combat, and have been known to achieve mighty feats while engaged in battle.  
Once chosen, a Villager will follow that path for the rest of their life.

The BattleRagers currently dwell in a barbarian Village near the ruins of a 
once great city, now leveled by warfare.

Those who wish to join the Village must seek out the Noldarian smith Tahren in 
his forge outside the Village after having slain at least one mage.  He has 
the ability to mark applicants as such, and grant them very limited powers to 
see their hated foes.  Once that is complete, they should seek out current 
members and gain recommendations.  When deemed worthy by enough Villagers, 
they must speak with the Commander of Battle for their final testing.  
Applicants should strive to uphold the philosophies of the Village, seeking 
the destruction of the arcane and not allowing the taint of magic upon their 
person.
