Bloodbane Dwarves

Scattered throughout the forests of Thaldor. Violent and murderous due to their beliefs. They believe the other forms of Anima are just “magic tricks”, and generally fall short to the might offered by their own weapons. They believe Titanis is depleted, with the only remaining remnants used to enchant their weapons. These weapon enchants are enhanced by direct contact with the blood of their enemies, and must be recharged somewhat regularly. The enchantments grant a great amount of resilience and strength to their wielder, which grows with each kill. However, they do not attack each other as Bloodbane Dwarves blood dampens the Titanis effect. These Dwarves are extremely hungry for this power. As a result, they resort to terrorizing the local populations for their own gains in this regard. Their weapons are their most prized possession, prioritized above even saving their brethren in battle. Their internal struggle among themselves keeps them from amassing any real form of power or organization.
