The Trail of the Painbearer embraces agony as strength, wielding wounds as weapons. These barbarians thrive where others falter, turning blood loss, fractured bones, and mortal injuries into explosive power. Every strike against them feeds their fury, driving them deeper into unrelenting violence.
Painbearers wear their suffering like armor—bodies marked with jagged scars, ritual burn patterns, and inked runes etched into broken skin. Their style of combat is brutal and primal: fists, axes, or improvised weapons, every blow fueled by the punishment they endure.
Within the shattered arenas of Karthuun, Painbearers are forged in relentless trials. Survivors are taught to draw strength from pain, matching torment with unyielding will. They learn to weaponize injury, turning every wound into leverage.
To the Painbearer, suffering is not endured—it is mastered. Each cut sharpens their resolve, each strike against them grants retaliation, and each drop of blood carries vengeance. The greater the pain, the greater the retribution.
