Warrior
Masters of combat, Warriors specialize in maintaining a frontline on the battlefield, closing distance between enemies, and battlefield control. Warriors cover a wide range of characters - the Knight in shining armor, mercenary, bandit, soldier, and bodyguard can all be Warriors. They are not locked into one piece or set of equipment, often finding the most success with backup equipment for their evolving role within the party; they are damage dealers, frontline, and disablers when the time calls.

Warriors are straight-forward in their approach to situations, often coming out of a personal need or motivation people join armies, guards or gangs to further their lives directly. While serving many roles within Eldara, warriors work best in tandem, and are oftentimes subject to a governing force who can utilize their strengths. Warriors seldom are the heads of groups, but particular warriors who do, such as generals, usually lead armies of other warriors. Warriors grow out of a necessity to attain victory; unlike other classes such as knights who serve morals and ideals warriors have few such goals to lead by, and therefore find themselves under another's command.
On Warriors:Other classes find warriors to be predictable, but indispensable. Rogues find them boring, wizards find them dull, knights find them immoral, but they all agree on their fortitude and strength. Other classes oftentimes see warriors as their generals do: useful tools to get what they want; they see warriors as those who look for a fight, those to seek a challenge to prove themselves, even if they don't know who their self is.
