According to the Dragon God's Library, any King-class tribal NPC, once subjugated by a player, has a chance to unlock a racial class inheritance.
If a player fully conquers a tribe with such a legacy, the NPCs of that race will release class advancement paths to all players affiliated with their conqueror.
Veijander was already a proven case. Seven Godslayer life-class players had passed its trials and become apprentices. Their starting point was already high-tier artisan, and their skill progression outpaced anything a typical blacksmith NPC could offer.
In theory, the time required to become a top-tier craftsman would shrink drastically.
Now, the two NPC monarchs before him met all the criteria: they had legacy, power, and a capable warrior base. If their hidden racial awakenings were unlocked, players could complete the required trials and quests for one-time awakenings.
Even players who had already completed their level-50 awakenings would get a chance to respec.
