Danuvian Archer

Homeland: The City-State of Danuvia

"I can shoot the legs off a chig at 100 paces; I can just as easily plant an arrow in that foolish mouth of yours the next time you cross me."

The bow is a weapon of distinction, but the truest weapons are your calm hand, steady eye, and unwavering courage. You were proud to stand on the field of battle with your sisters, unleashing the withering volleys of death that slew your enemies in droves. Other Danuvians, especially the pretentious lancers, argue that the bow is a weak weapon; used to strike down opponents safely from a distance. They were never more incorrect. The archers are Danuvia's first line of defense, and were it not for you and your sister archers, they would be quickly overrun by superior numbers - they should thank you for ensuring that the opponents who survive to reach them are always reduced in number. Many foolish opponents assume that archers fall shy of brutal melee. They are laughably incorrect in this assumption - you are no mewling male who quails at the sight of blood, and enemies have found to their cost that you are no stranger to the blade. Now, your seven years of service are complete, but you still hold fast to the archers' unofficial motto: 'work hard, play hard', and you intend to do both in copious quantities. Foreign lands offer excitement, adventure, and the possibility of men strong enough to be nearly your equal. You intend to live your life like an arrow in flight: fast and direct.
