Orssta
T he real fighters. Fighters of the cold lands in the Orsania. Many Orsanian blood traning to be a Orssta for protect their nation and their family against the dragons and other wild threats.
Living in the Dragon Lands;
Kingdom Of Orsania, the lands of the old Dragonia. King Ragus came here for more gold and wealth. His people are starved to death. They don't had anything to lose. He started this campaign for his people. They fighted bloody with the dragonborns and conquered these lands. These lands were freezing but potatoes came out, wheats grew and animals started to yield. Yes, the Orsania may have a bloody history but now they exist as a society. They need to get along well with the dragons otherwise their life would not be long. So they started to give them presents, shiny gifts (They worship Abuvarmin the God of Gold) so dragons let them live. Of course there is some disasters made by dragons, but not too much. These lands are now having lot of adventurers because of the touristic places and of course the dragons!
Rusty but Deadly Axes;
Axes was always the part of the orsanians (People of Orsania called the orsanians) they use it for everything. The Orssta's are the trained soldiers of the Orsanian Kingdom. They trained by another experienced Orssta. The army and the people always respect the Orssta's. They know how to use axes proficiently. Also they know the ability of using runes of magic. They usally have a friend, a bear they used to mount in army. The bear train is another cultural ability that orsanians have. They usally have a long hair, braided. Bluest eyes in the Ochia. Orssta's really into jewelry, they have shiny earrings, necklaces and clasps. They fear only one thing; not being able to protect their families.
Creating a Orssta;
You are probably trained by a master. But know you left the army, unit or cult. Know you are a adventurer and you need to get stronger, stronger. Orssta's don't have a exact goal. You can hit the road for revenge, money greed, or maybe for being a legend. Work with your DM(GM) to write a backstory and a maybe a goal.
