Barbarian
Barbarian
A barbarian in Teradill is not simply an uneducated brute. They may be a frontier survivor, oath-raider, shard-scarred champion, bodyguard, pit fighter, or outsider whose power is embodied rather than academic.

Adventure Guide note
Embodied power, battle-trance, frontier grit, and refusal to break.
How Aeloria understands this class
In Aeloria, where so much authority is tied to paperwork, laboratories, and formal credentials, barbarians can feel like a disruption. Some scholars underestimate them as undisciplined. Veterans, guards, and anyone who has survived the wilds know better.
Practice and power
Their strength may come from battle-trance, ancestral practice, physical conditioning, trauma, oath, rage, or exposure to forces the Scholarium cannot politely categorize. Whatever the explanation, a barbarian turns pressure into momentum.
At the Grand Scholarium
At the Grand Scholarium, barbarians are often outsiders, hired muscle, Concord Guard prospects, athletes in the Null-Bouts, or students whose talents do not fit tidy academic labels. They are invaluable when theory leaves the lecture hall and starts trying to kill people.
