Born in the chaos of the streets and tempered by the will to survive, monks of the Way of the Iron Rebellion embody the raw spirit of defiance. These warriors are not the silent disciples of cloistered temples; they are scrappy, unrelenting fighters who turn the brutality of the slums into an art form.

Harnessing their instincts and unorthodox techniques, Iron Rebellion monks strike with overwhelming force, blending calculated aggression with dirty tactics. Every brawl teaches them something new, every scrap makes them stronger, and every fight is a chance to prove they won't bow to anyone.

Whether rallying allies with a roar of defiance, exploiting every opportunity to take down opponents, or unleashing an unstoppable barrage of strikes, these monks are a force of nature—a storm that crashes through the battlefield with unyielding ferocity. If you want to play a character who thrives on breaking the rules, bending the odds, and overwhelming foes with raw, unbridled power, the Way of the Iron Rebellion awaits
