Biting Wind

Where oceans ice over and the arctic gales blow, there are found the warriors of the Biting Wind. Impervious to cold, rough bitten but masters of grace, they are the elite of frozen warfare. No one moves faster over ice, nor know the ways of the glacier or the taste of the bitter breeze better. They are stone cold in resolve and just as solid. A guard of the biting wind off his skates is naught but a corpse.

Biting Wind guardians are, almost without fail, glacier dwarfs, the students of older warriors learned in the century long war with the Frostfolk. The Azure Floe was the battle ground, an ancient frozen sea with depths unheard of, but filled with treasure; the wondrous Blue Ice. The dwarfs had been first to discover it, but the secret was heard upon the wind and such riches appealed to the Frostfolk. Though many already followed the discipline of the Bitter Edge, it was during that battle that it was perfected and their skill tempered. Like a tempest they at last drove back the Frostfolk. Glots and razor skipdisks rolled like an avalanche, and behind it came a thousand mighty warriors with blade on foot and blade in hand. To this day the scene of that final battle is stained red with the frozen blood of the fallen.

Becoming A Biting Wind
Standard dwarfs and humans are sometimes taught the ways if known to be a trusted friend of the people of the Azure Floe, but even then they are not considered to be a true member of the guard. Any race could learn it, but only a glacier dwarf uses it to it's full potential.

Swordsages and Crusaders are the most common to go the way of the Biting Wind. Warriors of all types are capable, though must have at least a couple levels in a martial class to meet the prerequisites.
