There are many Ax-Drunes of Kernunnos, muscled killers in closed helms of iron and horn that reside in Kernow and Ys, but those of Carn Maen are particularly suited to the savage, brutal life amongst Carrowek's armies. Raised - as Arthyen was - within Carn Maen upon the westernmost part of the mainland and exposed to the unforgiving, savage seas and gales around that wicked coast, the Ax-Drunes from that fortress are almost a breed apart from the Kernowek, let alone other humans. Tough and uncompromising, wicked and ruthless, Arthyen epitomises such Warriors for he is one of their champions: a slab-muscled, cold-hearted murderer who thinks nothing of slaughtering man, woman or child. If the Horned God wills Arthyen and those of Carn Maen follow, however base the task, for Kernunnos will not be denied.
