Berserker's Hard Wood Trident

Berserker's Hard Wood Trident gleamed in the late sun, its shaft a dense, weather-worn length of hard wood with a satin grain that whispered when you ran a finger along it. Three iron prongs crowned the head, each one polished to a pale edge, and a lacquer of red resin pooled between the bases like a heartbeat caught in metal. The grip was wrapped in split-tanned hide, scarred from grip marks and the thumb smear of countless campaigns, and a small charm—a carved skull and curling wave—hung just above the butt. The wood carried a salt-scent from long voyages and a resin-sweet sting of old smoke, as if the weapon had walked through markets, battles, and fishermen's nights. Lore insisted it once belonged to a berserker chieftain who rode storms along the coast, his rage tempered by the deep rhythm of the sea; sailors swore the tree it was carved from grew at the water's edge, where the foam first tasted iron. In battle the trident feels balanced between a spearman's reach and a brawler's closeness: it can pierce a line of foes, then snap into a rapid, three-pronged flurry that crowds enemies and buys space for a retreat or a charge. Players who chase Power, Precision, and Ferocity gravitate toward Berserker's gear, and this trident, with its sturdy grip and venomous edge, becomes a natural focal point of that philosophy. Its usage in skirmishes on sun-washed piers or storm-hit docks is a story in itself: a weapon that invites you to press forward, to crowd the front, to force your opponents into a single, decisive mistake before you bury the last thrust into the heart of the fray. The trident isn't just a tool; it's a badge, a memory of the man who walked the coastline with a vow to defend his kin from raiders and wreckers, a vow he etched into the wood with a rough blade and a patient, stubborn line of work. On the road between market stalls and harbors, I found its current story in a tent marked Saddlebag Exchange, a caravan of traders who read the wind as if it were a ledger. The dealer weighed the balance of the wood with a practiced eye, praising the grip's comfort and the head's true alignment as the resin glowed faintly in lamplight. We spoke of price in the currency of the road: several gold pieces, a handful of silver, perhaps a jewel if the buyer carried it, with a note that the trident might be traded for other gear at the next port. The bartering felt right—every inch of that wood had earned its worth through tide and trial—and as I walked away with the few coins and the memory of that harbor sun on the brass, I realized the Berserker's Hard Wood Trident would continue to find new hands and new battles, continuing a story older than any current rumor, a story of rage tempered by purpose and the promise of a ship that will always return to port.
