A Berserkir is a warrior who is blessed with the anger of the gods. In this rage, he loses all control and becomes a killing machine, striking down foes with the strength of twice four men. They have no need for armour, since neither iron nor fire can touch their skin while in this feverish rage. People have tried calming the fires within a Berserkir consumed with Modr by pushing them into vats of ice-cold water, but the water was turned to steam by the fiery anger of the Berserkir’s breast. Throwing naked women in the path of a Berserkir has also failed to calm the heavenly rage.
In some cases, a Berserkir has been known to transform himself into a mighty bear. After the rage wears off, the warrior is in a weakened state for a time. It is said that a king sent five Berserkirs to conquer a neighbouring kingdom and they accomplished their task, slaying all of the opponent’s armies.
This rage is spiritual in nature, since it is a lesser form of what the god Thor possesses.
Berserkirs who personify the oncoming storm are known as Juggernauts. They are a purely destructive force that believe the best defence is a strong offence. Most will utterly decimate an opponent before they can mount an effective attack. Those that survive the initial onslaught find themselves on their heels, facing an aggressor that will eventually spell their doom.
Berserkirs who are blessed with rage cannot be touched by fire or steel. Dreadnoughts strive to become the most indestructible forces of nature. Their resolve is unwavering and their body is immovable. Most foes retreat knowing that killing a Dreadnought is an almost insurmountable challenge.
