Thanks for the comment, I was trying to get some culture building in there and trying to pack it into 1k words or less is tough so I think you are correct and it ended up a bit rushed.

I was trying to go for a thinking warrior that does like the battle, but not a berserker that gives into it. He does have a fury that builds within him while fighting, but it does not make him go blind to the contemplative side and he manages both. Essentially trying to place the Beastmen or at least individuals within as more complex than savage, marauding brutes.

Thanks, I was trying to picture predators that were in tune with nature. They seem brutal and savage when you are on the receiving end and maybe because you don't understand the culture.

I very much enjoyed the story, it could have been the opposing viewpoint for part of mine.
