Description
Sharn embodies reliability. What she lacks in the ability to inflict massive damage, she makes up for in her staying power and her innate abilities to move friends and foes without using valuable fate resources. With her bulk clad in the heaviest of armour, she can be relied on to withstand all but the most focused attacks while providing allies Cover. With the ability to rally friends to her and slam her foes forward, both without leveling, her natural tools lend to many interesting movement strategies that are a boon to players who enjoy unraveling puzzles to set up clutch plays. As she levels, enemies have to decide between smashing themselves whilst charging her or shooting her as she becomes more indomitable against the deadliest of projectiles. Her hammer, Storm Forged, is also designed to penetrate the strongest of armours while throwing foes that stand close, dismantling carefully laid out formations. Although not specializing in soul harvesting, Sharn is attuned to the spiritual principle that permeates all realities, providing a warband with soul harvesting support.
Sharn is a valuable tank and bruiser addition to both Grul and Tomas factions.
Through Xyvera’s machinations, Sharn was whisked away at birth and brought her to the secret place of the minotaurs. The minotaur crone prophesied the coming of Sharn as one that would save her people and the old crone raised Sharn into the world. Xyvera’s mentorship had a profound effect on Sharn – both ideologically and physically. She grew to a monstrous size under Xyvera’s care, and could match her adopted kin’s enthusiasm for wrestling and headbutting. Under Xyvera’s tutelage, she learned of the Old God’s atrocities. These tales helped shape Sharn and attuned her to the New Gods. She sees a chain of fate that can not be controlled but with discipline can be molded, and when she lives according to this essential nature, it gives her greater strength and focus.
Curious about her origins, Sharn later reunited with the tribes of orcs and her orc family. She felt a kinship to many, but their leaders with their agendas made her weary. The greatest lesson the orcs gave her was the discipline of iron. Sharn quickly surpassed her teachers with her intrinsic understanding of the nature of metal and hide. Neither fully adopting either minotaur culture or orc culture, she dons the armor crafted by her own hands, places faith in her own virtues and follows the path that the New Gods, Fate and perhaps Xyvera have planned for her.
