Rank 1: Normal break attack and +1 to Return the Favor

Rank 3: +2 break attack and +3 to Return the Favor

Lore

There was one Varl who even the Dredge recognized and feared, called Steinn. Though he as said to have never killed a single enemy, they ran at the mere sight of him. Those who witnessed the battles say as Steinn waded through their midst, shield and cudgel a vicious blur, Dredge would stumble away battered, bruised and with their fearsome black armor shattered and worthless. The warriors who followed behind found little resistance.
