"You shall become a master of weaponry and combat technique...by Everild's teeth, if it can be used to cripple, maim, or kill your enemy, then you shall know how to wield it!"
- Guild Leader Agonar
Masters of combat, Barbarians are fighters first and foremost. Barbarians not only do not use magic, they are sworn against it as it disrupts their ability to call upon their inner powers to berserk and such. The Barbarian's life is a simple one, but not an easy one.
Ability - Barbarians
have the ability to berserk. A berserking Barbarian is able to push through
physical pain and increase his or her strength and stamina. In this state
a barbarian could go negative on health points and literally die on his
feet when the effect wears off. Barbarians also learn combat dances that improve their ability to fight. Masters of combat, barbarians are first and foremost fighters.
Special Abilities - Weapon Forging -
A barbarian's inherent understanding of weapons makes him or her a natural at the forge. Anyone can forge a crude weapon, but only barbarians can produce legendary quality weapons sought after by all.
Limitations - Magic and magical effects of any type other than Inner will disrupt the Barbarian's ability to berserk and roar. Too much exposure to certain types of magic may weaken the Inner Fire for a time.
Guild Crest - A bloodied sword raised high in a clenched fist.
Primary Skill - Weapons
Secondary Skill - Survival, Armor
Dances and Roars
Battle Dances
As barbarians gain greater levels of experience
and awareness, they are able to seek out the legendary pit masters who
are located all over Elanthia, and learn various battle dances which train
the barbarian to hone their strengths to levels not normally achievable,
creating an unstoppable force in one person.

Flounder - 10th circle - Helps you leap to your feet easier, For RP purposes.

Dragon - 60th circle - Gives bonus to agility, reflex, weapons, and a vitality boost. May also give bonus to parry and evasion. Located in Hara'jaal?
Note: Circle, Discipline, and Charisma are what to train to make dances better. If you are hindered at all in your armor, or have a burden, this will also effect the length of the dance. Not every ability will do everything when you first get it. Abilities grow with time and experience.
Battle Roars
A barbarian is able to strike fear into his/her
opponent and inspire his/her allies through sheer projection of his/her
roars and presence. At higher levels a roaring barbarian is able to drive
others into a natural state of berserk.

Everild Roar - 9th circle - Stuns opponents/lowers their combat ability
Trothfang Roar - 13th circle - stuns opponents/lowers their combat/ability. Causes bleeders

Note: Roars are based on circle, and discipline, and
do NOT tap into your inner fire (with the exception of Daith'Audru which
berserks you). To learn the roars, (with exception of Kaith’Audru)
you must "ask guild leader about skill" When you first receive roars, they
will be very weak but the higher in circle and discipline the better they get.
Inner Fire and Meditation Inner Fire
The driving force in every barbarian - that which
is alive in all, but strong in few. A barbarian's Inner Fire is the source
of his/her tremendous courage and strength, as well as resistance to magic.
Too much exposure to certain types of magic may weaken the Inner Fire for
a time.
