The Warrior path begins you in the Fortress City of Dun Mir, home of the Fire Knights who protect the ways of the Dragon and the world of Nox so-to-speak. They are truly brute strength machines of war, focusing on phsyical prowess and raw human speed and strength to win the battle rather than intellect or spell-based combat. In fact, the Warriors of Dun Mir have long since despised the culture of Mages, though their nature-loving neighbors to the North, the Conjurers of the Village of Ix remain their ally in these times.

When Jack seeks the path of the Warrior, he looks to the ruler of Dun Mir, and the leader of the Fire Knights, Lord Horrendous who is a rather remarkable bald brute of a fellow, very dangerous and looming chap with a dark complextion, bald head, and usually weilding a gigantic Halberd of some sort.

As a Warrior, Jack learns many of the Combat tecniques which will, in turn, provide his combat tactics with much greater prowess when used on the field in actual combat with the denizens of the villianess Hecubah, as well as in the arena. Weapons, ranged as well as melee, this class knows how to fight with just about anything. Given the sheer strength, the Warrior class also can equip himself with life-saving protective armor as well.

, Axes, Maces, and even extremely deadly ranged weapons like his Shuriken and yes, the "right-out-of-Xena" Chackrum. As you venture through the solo experience of Nox, your journeys will revolve around your mentor, Lord Horrendous. As you play, your combat skills will increase as you develop.

The Warrior develops in skill much slower than his Mage and Conjurer piers. The reason for this mainly is that the Warrior only has six total possible combat skills throughout the game while the Conjurer and Mage have full-length spellbooks with over a dozen different spells as they advance. As you also may be guessing, the Warriors combat skills are quite the effective set. Each of his six possible skills are extremely useful or devestating for the Man of Combat.
