Slayer Cults (Sub-cult of Grimnir)
The sub-cult of Slayers is unique among the sapient races. Many would consider it a Death cult of sorts, but that would only be partially true. Slayers do not frivolously seek their end, as to
do so would be nothing less than dishonourable. Instead, they search for a means to achieve a great deed at the risk of life and limb so that they can atone for whatever past crime or failure
they have committed. Their doom weighs heavily on those who take up the mantle of Slayer. As expected, many are mentally unstable and pass their mundane existence between battles in an intoxicated state produced by either alcohol or some other form of addictive substances.

Strictures
For Slayers, the strictures are:
1. Always engage in any combat where the chances of honourable death are highly probable, especially against unfavourable odds.
2. Any cowardice in the face of such combat further dishonours and disgraces the Slayer.
