Ashildr

One of the 12 Bloodlit races, from the homeworld Ashilon. Their society closely resembles the pinnacle of ancient Greece and Rome, had those societies not fallen into decline. Warriors, Strategists, Philosophers, and Craftsman. Fueled by battle and trained in weaponry.

The Ashildr are hearty, strong folk, trained for battle and combat at a young age. Their race enjoys a freedom that none can take from them, thanks to their durability and training. They are all trained in shield and weapons from a young age, aiming at perfection. They are nicknamed the Shield Bearers of Beta Orionis.

Like many of the Bloodlit, they are courageous, undying, and capable of flight.

The Bloodlit races are master craftsman, their weapons so advanced that the lesser races consider them magic. The weapon and armor of the Ashildr are unbreakable unless cast back into the forges of the Ashildr blacksmiths.

Ashildr Traits
Their oaths are their bond, and a promise must be fulfilled. A wise Ashildr is on who is careful with their oaths. There is many a tale of an Ashildr falling from Hod's Light, not at the hand of an enemy, but at a failing of their oaths.

Ashildr cannot lie, though they can always choose silence or a change of topic. Honest to a fault, they are untrained in the social art of deceit.

A challenge cannot go unanswered. The Ashildr are physically compelled to answer a challenge, provided its not a frivolous one or not a true challenge. "I challenge you to punch yourself in the face!" is not an honest challenge and can be ignored.
