Wardancer – Wood Elf MDPS

“In the still that is the forest, when all you hear are branches rustling in the wind, its hard to imagine the music that can be made when a company of wardancers ambushes an invading herd of beastmen. No, I do not speak of the beastly howls coming from the dying beastmen, I mean before that. Yes, when the wardancers leap through the air and swing their swords a music is made that cannot be reproduced with instruments or even my words. The blades make the music for the wardancers, and the song is beautiful!” Lemadril, Sage of the Queens Court
