When a Dwarf suffers an unacceptable shame and lose their honour, they take the Slayer's Oath. Covering their bodies in tattoos, shaving the sides of their head, dying their remaining hair a brilliant orange, and spiking it with animal grease, they set off into the world , axe in hand, seeking a glorious death.

Slayers wander the world hunting deadly beasts, such as Trolls, Giants, or Dragons. Because of the shame they carry, many suffer from bouts of depression, glutting themselves on food, alcohol, or stronger stimulants. The more foes Slayers face and survive, the more dangerous and crazed they become, hunting progressively deadlier creatures in the hopes of finding something that can kill them.

Till they fall in battle, a Slayer's life is one of adventure - they seek out opportunities to face powerful foes in battle. Slayers will occasionally take other odd jobs , for drinking money or to finance their travels, but will seek death along the way.
