Albionic Badgers

The Albionic badgers are a branch of mutated animals that have long lived together in clans. This has endowed their society with a rather peculiar feudal culture whose origins have been lost in the mists of time and the geography’s ardous extent. What’s evident is that the badgers’ society is reeking with war-like ideas and values and that every individual is trained to fight teeth and clawto defend their earth and lands. They are lacking their own industrial technology; They don’t have steampower, nor any production of gun-powder. They do however utilize higher technologies to some extent, and artefacts from the old times are usually more common with the Albion-badgers than with many other inhabitants of the [plats] world, but their prefered technology and weaponry is most usually below the standard of most others. They usually go into battle with a major focus on melee and have a trademark weapon of choice: The heavy, two-handed sword so called ”Klejmore”, and have even developed a branch of fighting specialized in using these clunky swords. Although the techniques of this peculiar style are quite difficult to learn, and even harder to master, an accomplished Klejmore-fighter is an opponent not to be taken lightly and have been known to be very dangerous to anyone foolish enough to cross their paths on hostile grounds. Klejmore-fighting is a new [Trained Skill] that’s available to [Earlier occupations] with access to [Martial Arts]. First and foremost it’s meant for soldiers and other members of the warrior-clans who possesses knowledge of the technique, but all Albion-badgers may of course learn Klejmore-fighting as time goes on. Klejmore-fighting is generally not taught to non-Albions but a non-Albion [RP] may possibly learn the skill from an Albion-badger [RP].

Albionic Badgers as PCs

Albion-badgers may leave their colonies and clans for different reasons, but the grounds for such a decision are always very good. It can possibly be outcasts, outlaws, or other odd characters that are looking for fortune outside the protective, although demanding, custody of the clans, or a PC may be an official from [plats] or [plats], being on a trading-route, exploring or even being on a diplomatic inquiry to the [Pyrisamfundet].
