Way of Dread (trait)
The Way of Dread is the path of the great and learned, those who cultivate terror and despair in those around them. It is the path commonly followed by scholars, theologians, and by more bookish sorts of nobles who prefer to let others do the fighting for them. To follow the Way of Dread is to leave all others quivering in fear, from the closest blood-relative to the most distant hated foe.
