Berserk

Literally means “bear skin/coat”.

Berserks (bhur-zer-ks) are a specialised fighting unit that are elite and the first into battle. They are very aggressive, highly trained and considered the Fólk's best warriors. They decimate the lines of enemy's with their first raid. They are given special privileges in Rikki Storr Drengers (Kingdom of Great Warriors) and keep to themselves, as they believe themselves to everyone else, except for the King. They wear bear pelts over their bodies when they go to war, as hunting and killing a bear (ber) within the Prúor Holt (Splendid Forest) is a ritual all berseks must pass. The unit only accepts the strongest and best warriors of the Fólk. They feel the need to display their pride and strength by parading themselves before battle, to the enemy and their own men. They are merciless warriors, always willing to go first.

Their motto/war cry is  “''Vegr eoa andlát. Vér sǫk leita Ǫrvar! Vér andask mærr!” which translates to “Glory and death. We charge for God! We die glorious!''”
