Warrior names two things in Antiterra: the trade of arms, defined by the gear a fighter carries, and one hooded, non-human warrior seen drinking beer at a bar.

The trade
Armor has names and blades reputations. The breastplate covers the torso only (“not an armor that covers the whole body”). The scimitar is “a prized blade in the region”: “handsome, he has a good scimitar”. A stated norm is denied in the same breath: “ideally war could be a thing between warriors. But… it never works that way.”
The Warrior in dark clothes
He is “one meter seventy and something”, hooded, in “dark, long, heavy” clothes and mid-calf winter boots “all covered in wolf skin”. His arms are unusually wide, his lips full, his teeth sharp, with fangs “that come out a little bit down here”. He hides them, but when he speaks or drinks “he plays a bit with his mouth” and they show. He is “clearly non-human”.
He carries a longsword (“a big one here”) with a cross guard of the era of the conquest, a rapier at another point of the belt, a round shield on his back, a canteen and a bag. He “orders more beer at the bar”, indoors among civilians, and no one points him out.
Open questions
- Whether the warriors’ ideal rests on a code, order or guild, or is a stray opinion, is unclear.
- Whether he is a traveler, mercenary or fugitive is undecided.
- Why he bears a conquest-era sword (relic, enchanted, or imported) is unexplained.
- His species, people, face, bag contents and whether he wears a breastplate are unknown.
- The scimitar’s region is not named.
- Whether anyone notices his fangs, and what follows, is not recorded.
