Here, let me help you with that...
(oh and barbarians generally through myth and legend have routinely been described as foul loud mouthed noisy sons of bitches by the more settled peoples they have been in conflict with)
Seriously.
There are no self-described "barbarian" peoples I know of in human history. The word is a deliberate insult born of xenophobia mixed with legitimate fear of being raided. You can be pretty damned confident (aka absolutely certain) that many of these "barbarians" had a need for and made regular use of stealthy scouts and spies.

Uh what? You do know the meaning of myth and legend ? Putting in some non sensical bold print doesn't change the meaning of what was said. I'll say it again for ya and even include some bold print!!
Myth and
legend
While it's true that the word barbarian is a descriptive term in human history that has been applied to many different races based on their actions, EQ has made it a race all of its own. It's not counter intuitive to try and extrapolate from our understanding of the word how such a race might be, and unfortunately it's not of the soft tredding angelic type!
Your counter troll has all but flogged the skin of this horse.
