BREAKER BREAKERS

BREAKER BREAKERS
  
The mortal body is a weak and aimless vessel that serves only to
constrain the soul, to keep it from reaching its fullest potential. The
soul, knowing no other existence, clings fervently to the body with all
its strength. Even when briefly freed from its prison it swiftly returns,
weakened each time by the cycle of separation and rebirth. Eventually
the soul loses the strength to return to the mortal shell - but,
weakened by the cycle, it has lost as well the ability to even exist.
And so it vanishes for the remainder of time.
 
The Breakers are providers to the opportunity to souls that would other-
wise not be shepherded into the beyond; the next stage of existence. 
However, the souls of the weak must be protected, guarded within their 
prisons until they grow strong enough to seize the opportunity to go 
Beyond. The Shepherds of the Breakers have sworn to defend those who 
cannot defend themselves, to aid the weak, to teach them how to grow 
into the power that will eventually grant them freedom. Shepherds are
known for their defensive prowess.
  
Soulreavers are stealers of the soul. While stealing a soul for their
own gain or for the gain of their master, it eventually goes into the
beyond as a freed vessel from its contained prison. The Soulreavers are
especially well known for their offensive prowess, and while beings of
honor and strength, should never be trusted.
