Norse Berserker
Package Type: Basic
Package Source: WHFRPG2e
Norsca is a grim northern land full of fell beasts such as Ice Trolls and Chaos Spawn, and it breeds tough fighters. The weak die and the strong survive. The berserkers are a rightly feared warrior cult. Its members go into battle without armor to prove they have no fear. They work themselves into an incredible rage, often biting their own shields and raving at the mouth. Their feats fill the sagas and loom large in the stories of those Imperial soldiers that have faced them.
Some few berserkers make their way to the Empire beacause they have been exiled or simple have a desire to see more of the world. They rarely stay in one place for long, since no Watchman wants a frothing lunatic disturbing the peace. Berserkers are highly prized Mercenaries, however, due to their rarity and effectiveness.
NOTE: If this is your starting career then you are from Norsca but have traveled to the Empire in search of adventure.
