The vandals of Kharim spread the scourge on their travels. Only few ever
survive from attacks of Kharim's elite legion. Scourge of dark steel has
originated from past times when the first vandals of Kharim demolished and
burned vast regions. The 'scourge' refers to the group of vandals while 'dark
steel' refers to the black metal armours that they were wearing. The meaning
of the expression has changed since and means one of the fiercest attack
techniques that are used by Kharim's vandals. Technique is quite
sophisticated, but brutal, and it is used to cause bleeding wounds that close
quickly. While the assault itself doesn't cause much harm, the scourging mark
that it leaves makes the previous wound more sensitive to any damage.
Succesful adaptation to battlefield as well as adept use of shield are often
regarded as noteworthy factors when attempting a scourging attack.
