The Vulkite Berzerkers are the rank-and-file warriors of the fyreslayers, duardin mercenaries who march to war clad in little more than golden ur-gold runes hammered directly into their flesh. These runes, forged from the reclaimed essence of the slain god Grimnir, imbue the berzerkers with supernatural fury and resilience, blazing hotter as the battle grows more desperate.
Wielding fyresteel handaxes, war-picks, and slingshields, Vulkite Berzerkers form the roaring core of any magmahold's army. They fight with a reckless ferocity that borders on the suicidal, hurling themselves at the foe with total disregard for their own survival. When a Vulkite is struck down, the ur-gold in their body flares one final time, allowing the dying warrior to strike a last vengeful blow before falling.
Each berzerker is bound by sacred oath to the runefather who commands them, and their loyalty is absolute so long as the magmahold's coffers are filled with ur-gold. To the fyreslayers, war is both a holy quest to reclaim the shattered remains of their god and a lucrative trade, and the Vulkite Berzerkers embody this brutal duality.
