Boulderguard lore
The Four Axes were four brothers who wandered the Wulin, never coveting fine robes, famed blades, or treasured artifacts. They lived by a code of righteousness, believing that as long as they walked an upright path, they had nothing to fear from blades lurking in the shadows. Yet the sharpest blade seldom cuts flesh. It strikes at the heart.
