Master Swordsman] Dagnyr has been trained since childhood in the ways of the sword and paired with his first hand experience on the battlefield, is quite proficient. He wields a set of shortswords rather than burden himself with a shield, his fighting style relying more on agility than endurance.
---[
Berserker] Dagnyr is able to put himself into a trance fueled only by hate and rage, allowing him to ignore pain and fatigue and bestowing superhuman strength. Once in the trance, it is very difficult to get out of it and he is unable to distinguish between friend and foe so it is best to stand out of his way. The berserker trance is draining and once gone, leaves Dagnyr exhausted and listless.
---[
Camp Domestics] Dagnyr has spent much time on campaign and has an easy time setting up and dismantling camp. He knows the basics of cooking and is rather proficient with a needle and thread.
---[
Coercion] Dagnyr is a fierce fighter who has seen some of the most terrifying battles the realm has known. Due to this, he is hard to intimidate and isn't afraid to use force to get what he needs. Coupled with the savage reputation of the barbarian clans of the North, Dag is a very effective enforcer. In truth, diplomacy is not a trait he inherited from his mother.

Dagnyr of Linde
┏ B i o g r a p h y ┐
-- Wintermane is not a forgiving landscape, particularly on the border with the Frozenlands. The winter tundra is unrelenting and frigid, allowing only the strongest to survive. In the past, Wintermane was home to hundreds of small clans and tribes all battling one another for dominance. These skirmishes were often short-lived but bloody, often wiping entire clans from the history books in one fell swoop. Then, without warning, from the Frozenlands descended monsters from nightmare, a ghoulish force that decimated any who stood in their path. It was only this threat that brought together the various clans of the North into one united force.
Dagnyr grew up among the Northern Barbarians, son to the chief of clan Linde. His life was relatively simple, he spent the majority of his adolescence training for his time on the front lines against the Vyshtar. The other clans in his region were mostly peaceful and so they benefited greatly by way of trade with their neighbors. He had many friends, both within his clan and without and was as happy as one could be in a desolate land where death could come from just about anywhere.
It was about a year ago that things went terribly wrong for Dagnyr. Clan Linde got word from one of the neighboring clans that the Vyshtar had mounted a sizable force and that Linde was needed to help combat them. The chief, Dagnyr's mother, was quick to act, calling her people to arms immediately and riding out to meet their neighboring clan and join them in battle. When they arrived, they found their neighbor absent but the Vyshtar in full force. They fought against the fiendish tide but the numbers were against them, their force was decimated in two days time. Dagnyr, who had suffered a life threatening injury early on, had been removed from the battle and was one of only five to survive the battle.
That battle was the end of Clan Linde, the other survivors drifted away to join up with other clans and Dagnyr was left on his own to mourn. His grief turned quickly to rage, burning with pure hatred for the Vyshtar and their deadly sorcery. He came to the conclusion that this race was too much for his people to match and that it was only a matter of time before Wintermane fell. With no home to return to, Dagnyr turned from Wintermane and set out into the world in search of a weapon that could turn the tide of battle in the North.

-- Dag is five foot nine, and bears many scars on his body. He tends to wear mostly leather armor as ore isn't as readily available in Wintermane as the southern lands.
