 Key Skill: Club/Mace

Brawlers believe in action first and foremost.  From the day one begins at the academy, they are thrust into the middle of situations that toughen them and demand actions to be resolved.  The tough and complicated issues are simply splitting slivers that are irrelevant or can be sorted out later or by someone else who is doing less.  Brawlers make use of blunt weapons like the mace, the first weapon developed not from a hunting device or farming implement, but rather to simply attack another Alathay.  They are warriors through and through.  Dogesh, the master brawler, a hulking Alathay covered in scars is the perfect example of this, frequently taking on an entire incoming class at a time.  Brawlers train their bodies to take more damage than any others and to take on multiple opponents at the same time.  They value strength, courage, tenacity, action, battle itself, toughness, resilience, straightforwardness, and zeal.  The physical change seen in those who have trained in the academy is noticed by all and higher class members have been seen carrying lamdrilya mounts on their shoulders rather than the opposite.
