[QUOTE="KirayaTiDrekan, post: 6344711, member: 6755061"] Alas, no. Dwarven barbarians are, culturally, a sort of "special forces" amongst the dwarven armies, shock troops trained to strike terror into the enemy in advance of the bulk of the dwarven forces. Archetypes typical for dwarf barbarians include Invulnerable Rager, Armored Hulk, and Titan Mauler. It takes a special type of dwarf to volunteer for this sort of training and they are seen as more than a little crazy by other dwarves. Their dedication and loyalty to clan and thane is unquestioned, however. Speaking of the Djihon, monks originate from Djihon slaves in Thune. The field slaves developed an elaborate dance to disguise the combat training they were practicing, using farm implements and their own bodies as weapons. This dance, the Shadow Dance, took on a philosophical element as well and these monks lead an uprising in 1133 that resulted in many slaves being freed. The former slaves found that they had little in common with their ancestral roots, however, and, rather than return home, chose to seek asylum in the capital city of Turen, where they established a monastery. In the years since, several new monasteries have popped up in Turen and Azgund and have started training students of other cultures and races (including halflings). [/QUOTE]
