Vikings represent an extremely popular and influential theme that can lead to a large array of concepts and characters. Quite distinct from the more brutish barbarian archetype, the Nordic warrior is probably one of the most popular of these classic fantasy characters.
The concept of the barbarian is as old as civilization itself, finding its origins as far away in history as the founding myths of the great city of Uruk, thousands of years before any Roman or even ancient Chinese used the epithet to mock the people of their periphery.
Skilled riders, trained since childhood to fight with both spear and bow, the amazons kept for generation the reputation of being proud and skilled warriors. Imprevisible in battle, these combative women use light but durable armors, prioritising mobility over pure resilence, a choice that benefit them skirmishes after skirmishes, as they leave behind bataillons of scattered and traumatized men. According to some legends, these battle-hardened warriors aren't realy human, the blood of gods and nymphs flowing in their veins. In their villages, the amazons laugh at these fables. If this is what these men need to tell themselves to care for their wounded egos, so be it !
