Ульфхеднар (Берсерки, волкоголовые)

Известные как Берсерки, Ульфхеднары ожидают Рагнарок и конец света. Они верят, что рождены для войны, их боевая ярость воспета в легендах, так же как и длительный отдых, необходимый им после боя. Бесстрашные и суровые, их сила растет из необузданной страсти и гнева: Каждый Ульфхеднар должен изо всех сил сдерживаться, когда среди kidowoʻwjroebejewodbdjdgʻdkeoeoʻrjfld друзей.

Ходят слухи, что вспышки гнева Берсерков могут быть настолько сильными, что их тела, не сдерживаемые тонким эмоциональным миром - разрываются в катастрофическом взрыве. Эта внутренняя тьма, эта гибель, ждет момента чтобы вырваться на врагов как шторм, не терпящий сопротивления. Неудержимые и жаждущие опустошения, Ульфхеднары жаждут отдать свои жизни, для защиты Королевства, которое является их домом.

История

Úlfhéðnar concepts

Ульфхеднар происходят из далеких мстительных времен, когда жестокая Злобность отобрала детей у родителей. Злобность стремилась уничтожить их, но люди поднялись и защитили себя, пользуясь своей мощью и магией. Отмеченные странным ядом змееподобного шторма, их потомки сохраняют темный склад ума и яростно сражаются за Королевство Викингов.

Эпоха становления

Main Article: Úlfhéðnar Becoming

The Úlfhéðnar originate from Askr and Embla, two Viking homesteaders who loved their children very much. However, when those children were taken or killed by an apparently intelligent Malevolence with a form of a giant serpent, they began to wander the land in despair.

Eventually, they came to a village where the very same Malevolence had appeared once more. From a mountain, they saw a red-haired father defending his son, but falling to the deadly storm. Their hearts moved by the sight from their dull despair, Askr and Embla charged down the mountain and fought the snake-storm to save the child, who was trying to use his fallen father's broken sword...

They managed to save the child, who hinted that he would be king of the Vikings one day as Sigurd, and traveled away. Askr and Embla settled in that very same village, and had more children, founding the race of the Úlfhéðnar. However, injuries from the battle with the Malevolence entered their bloodline, and induced their unique relationship with anger in later generations.

Внешний вид

Little is known about appearance, only rumors. No-one has seen an Úlfhéðnar, and gone on to describe them, either out of fear, or loss of their heads.

Особенности

Based on Úlfhéðnar`s lore and hints so far, Berzerkers in combat should have furious outbursts of power followed by periods of exhaustion.

Мелочи

• Initially considered for a melee class, the CSE thought it would be way too fun to have Berserker Healers and Mages. So they made the Berserkers, old Norse Úlfhéðnar, as a playable race instead of a class.
• Askr and Embla are the Old Norse version of Adam and Eve, the first humans on the world.
