Germanic Tribesmen
Even the least of men may hope for, and achieve, glory in battle.In his heart of hearts, the German tribesman was a warrior and only a warrior. When not fighting, he was seeking out another fight. Only in battle could a man earn the glory and wealth needed to improve his 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 against the tribe's enemies.
