Way of Fear (trait)

The Way of Fear is, counterintuitively, not the path for those who inspire fear in others. Instead it is the path of the craven and the downtrodden, typically reserved for peasants whose lot in life is to live in fear of their heartless betters, as well as those nobles who have been spurned and mocked by their families to the point that they are cast down from the dominant paths. To be among the fearful one must learn to take comfort where it can be found, but to never give in to trust or love: enduring the horrors of the world may require that those who walk this path sacrifice both in order to see another dawn.
