Totem Warrior

Source of Power

Totem warriors are warriors who have mastered the art of endurance. Throughout combat, Totem Warriors gain power over time by killing different foes. Using the power of conjuration, Totem Warriors can rise multiple totems from the souls of dead creatures. Using the souls of dead enemies, they raise one of multiple totems, releasing energy from the totem giving power to affecting allies. Through experience, Totem Warriors can also gain other abilities allowing them to retain combat for multiple hours, even days on end without resting.

The Original

Totem Warriors arose during the crown wars, when elves would recruit outsiders and mercenaries, these warriors had to learn to adapt the long overnight fighting of the elves. Throughout the war. Afterwards the Warriors still exist in low numbers. They often travel in nomadic tribes of other warriors and merchants, with two Totem Warriors in one pact very rare. People are aware of Totem Warriors, but almost more as a myth more than fact. Not many people have come across one, so a lot of people seem to think they are simply legends from the past.
