Druid
------
The Druids, renowned for their love of Nature, and belief in Awen, have been good friends of the Barbarians from the beginning. The shared interests these two paths have had in the Wilderness, rather than causing rivalry, has developed into a friendly bond. After Yuri's surviving alone in the Wilderness, Barbarians soon realized the added aid the Druids could provide, and on rare occasions you could find both the Druids and the Barbarians uniting in combat versus the deadly Mantis of Islets. While Barbarians remain loyal to eachother at all times, they too take it into their responsibilites to protect Nature, and watch over the flower-bloomin Druids of the kingdoms.
Monks
-------
Monks, while maintaing the fine arts of medicine and healing, have delved deep within their souls and released their fighting spirit. No known difficulties between the Monks and the Barbarians has arisen in the past twenty Yuri's, much less before. Since the Monks are keen fighters, it has been said that the Barbarians marvel at the abilities of the Monks. Like the Barbarians, the Monks have broken the traditional views of poets as simple healers, and through their means of envolvement, have earned the respect of the Barbarians. Whether it be the survival instinct to not upset your healer, nor test the power of a well-educated foe, or the fact that the Monks are really nice people, none-the-less, Barbarians remain friendly and sometimes helpful to this special class of Poets.
Muses
-------
Muses, with their heads always in a book, or continuously singing songs, have had very little impact on the Barbarians. Most Muses are stuck in a Library all day, or in the Buya Theatre putting on plays, very rarely do you see one stray into the Wilderness for very long. They tend to view Barbarians as uneducated nit-wits, and the Barbarians, while not as stupid as the Muses portray them to be, are often confused by the endless ramblings of this poetic path. A common conversation between a Muse and a Barbarian, often relating to the need of dye to remove the blood stains from their armor, is normally short, to the point, ending with the Barbarian walking briskly away to remove the mind-numbing noise of their so-called 'music.'
Hyun moo
----------
Unlike the other Poet paths, Hyun moo's are great allies both in the Mythic adventures, and the vengeful slaying of Townies in Vale. With no politics to enter the scene, a Hyun moo often does what is needed, or does nothing at all. This path cannot be categorized nor labeled, each moo is different, and every Barbarian is free to develop their own opinion on an individual basis. However, when a Barbarian marries a Hyun moo, there is an unwritten moral code that protects moo from Barbarian conflicts, and hopefully the moo will also aid his/her brethren-in-laws whenever needed. The added bonus of the moo's ability to raise themselves from the dead is a well-sought tactical need in some of the more dangerous endevours the Barbarians set out upon.

"Hyun moos"
The feelings about this path are pretty mixed within our path. The turtle represents healing, but it would seem many of those that follow the turtle don't feel the same. Any problems we may have with Hyun moos are on a personal standing with a specific Hyun moo. We feel no hatred or joy with the path as a whole.
"Druids"
Druids are our allies. We defend our lands as they defend Nature. Inadvertantly, we defend nature just as they inadvertantly defend our lands. Thus, we are allies by purpose and by choice. I wouldn't have any other path by my side than the druids. Not only are they generally quiet neighbors, but they're pleasant company as well.
"Monks"
I respect them, personally. Their ability to remain neutral in any activity astounds me. I'm sure that the entire path will agree with me when I say that they're some of the kindest, most understanding and loving people in these lands. While it would be impossible for us to concider them an ally, and since they generally need no aid in combat, any relationships with the monks is on a personal level.
"Muses"
They're a lively bunch. I used to be good friends with one by the name of Amberdrake, but he took his leave of the kingdoms long ago. We generally feel they're good for a laugh and a song and a story. Personally, I feel a sort of kinship with them, since I am a Story-Teller. I feel, though, that there's a little bit of a muse in all of us...
