Have there ever been warrior Gluttons? Like soldiers who have a reputation for devouring enemy combatants? ——— "Warrior Gluttons sounds like something I'd see on one of those little thriller novels they sell outside the Adventures Guild." Chista chuckles at the thought, then ponders if that really is a book she could find. "Ah, as for your question! Yes. There have been some notable Glutton warriors in the past and present! The first one that comes to mind is the mythical warrior queen Aoibheann, the elvish queen of the Whispering Wood." "They say she was a regal woman of unparalleled beauty with dark hair that flowed like a silky river and skin of polished ebony. A master of sorcery with equal skill with the blade, she was a thorn in the side of the Tsar's conquest of the Borderlands. It was said she would use her sword to strip her foes of their armor and swallow them down with terrifying grace and ravenous power, but that wasn't the end. She would then use her swallowed meal to fuel her spell casting, churning them down in seconds to amplify her magic, burning their very souls away to do so... a really scary woman to those who opposed her. Unfortunately for the elves, even such a powerful queen couldn't turn the tide as Markovia's raw numbers and industrial might were too much. "The elvish kingdom was eroded, with their last bastion being the Whispering Wood, shrouded in a thick mystical mist cast by the Warrior Queen herself. Rumor says the Elf Queen had to spend a solid month devouring her own people to get the mana needed to pull that off. Whatever the cost, she succeeded in saving that sliver of the old elvish kingdom, which might still reside in the heart of the mist. No one's ventured deep enough and returned to be sure." "The most recent one would be an Orc Trench Raider my mother served with during the Lighting War, Nika Zhukova. Mom said she was a quiet woman who didn't really socialize but would sneak out on Trench raids and always come back with a gut full of enemy sentry. She was so good at it that they started calling her the 'Night Swallow' as it seemed that she'd go out and nab someone every night. Mom isn't sure what happened to her after the war, but with an appetite like that I really hope she's using it for good."
