“I embrace the darkness within. It makes me strong. My fury is my guide, and I will meet victory... or oblivion.” - Hanniah Sharptooth, queen of viscera

You were born amidst the towering arctic mountains, axe and spear in hand. From an early age you displayed unmatched ferocity and an unyielding spirit, but there was also a darkness about you. Even by the time you were a young teen, you displayed not just bravery, but unmitigated savagery on the battlefield. As you continued to hone your physical prowess, the burning rage within you only grew hotter. Now you brim with tremendous bloodlust. The life of adventuring suits you, especially a life in pursuit of dangerous battles, as you look for any opportunity to unleash your inner demons.

You are known and feared for your unstoppable blood rages. Whether you give into a blind fury or enter an almost transcendent state of awareness amid the carnage, your blood rage is a savage and terrible thing that few have ever survived.
