Alchemist You don’t have to put out the fire when all is ash.

Always in high demand in the Hagreach, as the border war with Irrisen creates an inexhaustible demand of acid and flame. Alchemists are strange folk, treated with the apprehension and fear regarding wizards and with the respect given berserkers. While not an uncommon sight in the nation, it is rare for an alchemist to rise greatly in power, most learning to create basic items and then signing on with the Blackravens as a craftsman. While some most fear their power, an alchemist who put his mind to creating a legend could well bring cities tumbling to their feet!

Suggested Archetypes:Beastmorph, Chirurgeon, Grenadier, Ragechemist

Barbarian A cleaved head no longer plots.

Through ancient spirits, boiling blood, adrenaline, or pure fury, these wild men and women push their bodies past their limit to descend bloody hell on their foes. The Northern reaches of Golarion are host the greatest numbers of Barbarians. Many legends from your land ride in the wake of one berserker, showing that you need neither magic nor faith, just bone, blood, and iron.

Suggested Prestige Classes:

Bard We speak them fairest when thoughts are falsest and wile the wisest of hearts.

The Ulfen are just as found of song as they are of violence, and the Lands have been swayed just as much by a well-placed word as by blood-stained axe. The power of the voice has entranced the minds of many a young skald who grew up hearing legend of Torval Ill-Tongued stopping a wicked king’s heart with a song. A skald with a sheathed weapon is welcome in any city and most homes and every party of young heroes wishes for a skald skilled enough to spin their epic.

Suggested Archetypes: Animal Speaker, Arcane Duelist, Buccaneer, Dirge Bard, Magician, Savage Skald, Sea Singer, Songhealer, Thundercaller

Cavalier To be without silver is better than to be without honor.

Wherever your honor is placed, one thing is certain, with your banner held high and sword drawn, the skalds will sing of your glory.

Druid He hath need of his wits who wanders wide.

These are harsh, unforgiving lands, and their spirit flows through you. The Land of the Linnorm Kings are kingdoms still touched by old and primal magics which speak and call to you. Walls and armies are meaningless to those that can split the earth and ignite the sky. Legends also speak of cunning druids who toppled kings with falling cobblestones caused by faraway tremors. The spirit and fury of the wild is by your side, give the word and your foes shall be torn limb from limb.

Inquisitor Fear the reckoning of those you have wronged.

If clerics are the defenders of the faith, than inquisitors are the frontline soldiers. They do not serve in temples, they do not scrape, and bow. There are opponents of your god in this world that still draw breath, and you will not let that stand. Let others try and convert, counting one saved soul at a time, you count is by battlefield, and you god will recognize their own.

Ranger It’s best to search while the trail is new.

To know the land is to survive, and you these kingdoms better than a lover. You track wild fey through snowstorms and the beasts of the wild accept you as their own.

Rogue Deceit sleeps with greed.

This land is full of opportunity if you just know where to look. Treasure laden-caverns, castles and temples bursting with gold and relics.

You patron has granted you power and one day they will call in their debt, what you choose to do with your time then is entirely up to you.

Wizard I saw and was silent, I saw and pondered, I listened to the speech of men.

There are no arcane colleges or towers of magic in the Hagreach. In a land where the powers of arcane are feared above all else, the men and women who devote their lives to its pursuit are considered mad and power-hungry. This however has not deterred you. Amongst pages stained with ink and eldritch scripture, you have discovered power unlike has been seen in this land in ages. Unlike other arcanists you have given over neither blood nor soul in pursuit of power, you have dedicated your life to its pursuit, and it will be a life that will be remembered by all that survive your wake.
