1.Mighty warriors renowned for their strength and inhuman stamina, barbarians often wander far from their homelands, hoping to heap glory on their names through brave deeds and feats of arms. Some are grim and silent, some jovial and friendly, others crude, gruff and arrogant. All barbarians see themselves as superior to the other men of the world, the rightful owners of anything they can take by force, and bound to a destiny written down before time began. Coupled with their physical toughness, their belief in predestination leaves them unafraid of death, and thus all the more fearsome in battle. 2.Many Prelates serve as functionaries within the Church hierarchy, running cathedrals and monasteries, preaching to their flocks, and helping the poor and sick. Dismayed by the Turning and the great schism that led to the foundation of the Temple of the Cleansing Flame, the higher ranks of the Clergy have been paralyzed. As the Cardinals debate endlessly over the fate of the All-Father and what role the Church should play in the Age of Strife, some Prelates have decided to that the time for action has come. These missionary Prelates wander the World, spreading the All-Father's gospel while combating the forces of evil. Many lend their spiritual aid to virtuous heroes, hoping that their efforts can bring Order out of Chaos, and restore the Harmony lost so long ago. Though there are no quests in the game, Shadowbane features PVP, Nation, and Siege Warfare systems, offering players a wide range of in-game opportunities.
