Burgundian Axemen

The two-handed axe lacks grace, but is brutally efficient.

In their heart of hearts, the Germanic peoples were warriors first and foremost. When not fighting, they were seeking out the next fight. Only in battle could a warrior earn the glory and wealth needed to improve their position within the tribe. This was not an easy life, and only the toughest lived idly away from the battlefield. Others had to work, toiling in the fields and forests, awaiting glory that could be won in battle or by raiding the tribe's enemies. Although most German warriors were armed with spears, use of the axe became commonplace within some bands due to its brutal effectiveness at cutting through armour, flesh and even bone.
