in warrior cultures nobility was earned through blood and battle!

The Dacians did well until one day, the good ol' Roman Empire, deciding that since its coffers were empty, they HAD to destroy another country and pillage it. Like any empire does. So they made up some excuses and destroyed Dacia in two bloody wars.
