As one might expect of people who hurl themselves into combat in the most reckless manner possible, berserkers tend to have short careers. But some endure, carving their way through battlefield after battlefield without succumbing. It is these men and women who form the Ragnarok.
Berserkers wear paint of various colors and hues. But only the Ragnarok are permitted to wear this distinctive bright blue, designed to mark them out to both friend and foe on the battlefield. An arrogant young warrior once presumed to wear the color, without having earned the right. The painted skin was flayed from his body to teach him a lesson.
These metal bracers are useful for parrying. But they have a second purpose as well. When berserkers wish to bring on the rage, they will sometimes smash themselves in the face with their forearms - bloodying their own noses that they might taste their blood and be filled with fury.
Warriors of the Ragnarok are known to go bare-legged in the freezing snows, their bodies injured to the biting cold which would claim the lives of lesser men and women.
Ragnarok berserkers like to wear minor speed enchantments on their boots. This enables them to run into battle more swiftly, and ensures that cowardly enemies will never be able to outpace them.
