Cosmopolitan patrons hire scheming fencers as either bodyguards or enforcers. Groups of these warriors can also serve as soldiers, guards, and protectors.Eralin LisinarSadistic and manipulative, Eralin prefers a long, drawn out battle over a clean and efficient kill. She deals death in nicks and cuts and twists of her blades. Never one for a fair fight, she deliberately seeks out opponents who can’t match her skill.
