Warlord

Psychological Warfare

A pen truly is mightier than the sword in the hands of a Psychological Warfare Warlord. They see assassinations as a waste of effort as any who come across them commit social suicide and wish they were dead. While other Warlords are fighting a battle, the Psychological Warfare Warlord is laying the groundwork to overthrow the nation.
