Berserker's Prowler Pants

Berserker's Prowler Pants hang from a weathered peg, gleaming olive-brown leather stitched with crimson thread that looks like dried blood in lamplight. The thighs are reinforced with segmented panels, each rivet catching the glow, a whisper of runic script etched along the inner seam that only becomes legible when the metal catches a stray spark. The texture feels almost alive under a fingertip—grainy and thick where the hide was tanned in salt, smoother where the tailor’s needle pressed close to the skin, the edges singed by a long-forgotten forge. The pants carry a scent of oil and pine resin, as if a hunter wore them on a night patrol through forests that never sleep. Lore says they were woven by prowlers who alighted from the shadows to strike with speed and brutal grace, then vanished into backstreets and rumors, leaving behind nothing but these durable, predator-dark limbs. In the world sense, they are not merely clothing but a statement. Put on with a belt of braided sinew and boots that bite the ground, and the wearer moves as if powered by a second heartbeat. The Berserker's Prowler Pants are designed for pressure, for pushing through the hesitation that lingers after a clash and turning raw momentum into quick, decisive blows. They serve a frontline ethos—power and precision packed into supple fabric—encouraging a build that dances on the edge of recklessness. When a skirmish opens with a roar and a shield bash, the wearer finds their center, shoulders loosening as the runes flare faintly in the heat of battle, guiding swings and footsteps with a hunter’s memory. The lore-bearers say the pants are part of a set once worn by a battalion of scout berserkers who preferred speed to stealth, speed that could outpace even the cautious and the cautious outpace fate. Market life adds another layer to the tale. A pair like this travels through hands before it reaches a new owner, traded in whispers and the clink of coins, and the Saddlebag Exchange has become something of a crossroads for such stories. A pouch of copper, a handful of silver, or a trade in rare leathers—negotiations hinge on condition, cosmetic skins, and the potential for future hunts. Buyers speak of the pants with a mixture of reverence and pragmatism: they boost offense, pair well with a full Berserker set, and invite the kind of risk that wins battles even as it jeopardizes defense. A buyer in a sunlit stall might haggle for a discount, promising to carry the tale of this pair into the next raid, into the next rumor, the next night of prowling. When a traveler leaves a market tent with them, the world feels a notch sharper, as if the pants have stitched into the wearer not just leather and thread but a memory of the hunt, the price paid, and the silent pact to keep moving, no matter what shadows follow.
