Clan Crab Warrior
Crab – Great Axe, Great Sword, or any Polearm
The warriors of the crab clan are tough and brutish. There are many legends of lone crab warrior holding the line against onslaughts that would slaughter an entire company. There is no secret to the training methods of the Crab Clan Warriors. Warrior who are deemed worthy, and are able to withstand the initial trials (of which some die) register for training. Training begins deep underneath the Tier City of Rentoki in conditions so harsh that the body can either endure and evolve or die. Those who manage to train their bodies emerge changed beings. Crab clan warriors are purist and only humans may even apply for training. All Crab Clan Warriors must choose a two-handed melee weapon as their weapon of choice. The Great Axe or Great Sword is the most common although any two-handed weapon is allowed. Crab clan smiths imbue elemental spirits into the metal, which stronger and more powerful warriors can later awaken. Each weapon is attuned to the Warrior who first wields it and these are only awakened at the completion of training 4th level. The benefits to this harsh training are evident even when facing a novice.
