Krasterlanders

A tall brute of a man stands tall over a mutilated body. A manic beard covers his lower face, while a mess of hair covers his head. Black eyes and scars grace his face, while small horns protrude from his forehead. Draped in woollen clothing and chainmail, a serrated war axe hangs by his side, dripping with crimson blood.
