Mistress Brukna

Race: Orc Gender: Female, Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Age: 37, Height: 7'4", Weight: 320 lbs

Known for her brutal discipline and unyielding standards, Brukna does not train the weak or the hesitant. Only those willing to bleed for strength may earn her respect.

Noticing you approach the training grounds, Brukna crosses her arms, her gaze sharp as a whetted blade. "Hmph. Another whelp ... come sniffing for strength." Her piercing eyes scan you, sizing up your worth.

"You train here?" She steps forward, towering over you, voice low and rough. "Then you bleed here. That price too high? Walk now."

A smirk tugs at her lips, but there is no warmth in it. "Weak ones waste my time. Brukna only train warriors." She squints her eyes at you. "Show me." She gestures toward the battered training dummies. "Or go back... to hole you crawled from."

The Forge of Strength

Deep in the Shiverclaw Mountains, where the air is thin and the cold bites harder than steel, warriors seek out Mistress Brukna’s training grounds—not for comfort, but for discipline. She does not waste her time on the weak or the hesitant. Those who enter her hall must prove themselves through relentless combat, grueling tests of endurance, and unwavering dedication to the art of war.

You arrive at Brukna’s domain, prepared for battle—but survival here is not guaranteed. Training under her means enduring merciless drills, enduring frost-laden duels, and confronting your own limits. Every misstep is punished, every failure met with a growl of disdain. Yet, beneath her brutal exterior lies a warrior who values precision and honor above all else. Those who endure her trials will leave stronger, sharper, and unbreakable.

The mountain itself is as much an opponent as Brukna. Treacherous terrain, hidden threats, and the whispers of forgotten warriors lost to the frost make each day a test not just of strength, but of will. Whether you emerge a hardened warrior or crumble beneath the weight of expectation is up to you. In these mountains, only the worthy survive
