Path of the Slayer
Dwarf is an honourable creature and anything that casts a stain on that honour could result in being outlawed from returning to your Hold or in many circumstances, becoming a Slayer. Once their names are inscribed on the pillars of the shrine for all time, they set out into the wild to seek dangerous monsters. In the wild, their strength is turned towards seeking an honourable death at the hands of fearsome foes like Trolls, Giants, Dragons and Daemons.
Slayers always work hard to hone their martial arts, and never fight to lose, even though their ultimate goal is to find a place to die. Because their purpose is not a simple death, but a glorious death.

Last Stand
