Berserker's Soft Wood Warhorn

Berserker's Soft Wood Warhorn rests on the desk, its pale grain catching the lamplight like a dawn-lit river trapped inside a carved bottle. The horn’s surface is not slick or gleaming but softly textured, as if the wood itself still remembers the hush of the forest it once came from. Fine lines run along the bell in a web of sigils—circle and vine, a whisper of old berserker rites—etched so deeply that the grain seems to glow a shade warmer where the light sits. The mouthpiece is wrapped in worn leather, dulled from years of use, and a thin knot of resin clings to the seam where wood meets breath, a scent of resinous resin and memory. It feels surprisingly light in the hand, yet substantial enough to suggest that its voice can travel a long way once summoned. The lore threads through the room as easily as the horn threads air. They say the wood was chosen by a wandering clan of berserkers who trusted sound as much as steel, believing that the earth itself answered when a true heart called. In their tales, the horn did not simply signal war; it bound the battlefield to the will of those who fought with their whole being. When the first note rose, men and women who heard it felt the weight of the moment lift—courage steadied, the urge to press forward sharpened, and the chorus of their allies found a rhythm that no single voice could supply alone. The Soft Wood Warhorn is not merely a tool of war; it is a relic that invites you to listen to the ground you tread, to hear the heartbeat of a fight long past and echo it into the present. In practical terms, its usefulness unfolds in the heat of combat as a conductor’s baton might, summoning a rallying cadence that buffs the group and steadies the nerves. A single call can ripple through the ranks, granting a momentary surge of vigor, focus, and resolve—enough to bridge the gap between a stumble and a stride. It invites a tempo to a skirmish, a cadence that lets allies time their strikes and retreats with a shared memory of purpose. For those who carry Berserker’s gear, the horn fits a philosophy: push hard, trust the chorus of your comrades, and let the world feel the resonance of a unit that fights as one. It’s not just about raw damage; it’s about rhythm, timing, and the kind of courage that travels from throat to shoulder to heart. Markets are never quiet around memory and demand, and the Saddlebag Exchange is a place where stories and steel exchange hands with a soft clink of coins. I found the Warhorn there, nestled between a set of heavy rucksack straps and a weathered map that smelled faintly of rain and pine. The price carried a glow of its own—more than a simple coin, less than a legend—enough to make me pause and listen to the horn’s subtle hum as if it weighed a future decision. The merchant offered terms that felt like a negotiation with fate itself: a fair bargain for an instrument with a story threaded through it, a chance to keep a part of the forest speaking through me. Carrying it afterward, I learned to move with the horn’s gravity, letting its calm glow guide my steps when the map grew uncertain. It became less an object of power and more a companion in a long walk toward a remembered battlefield that never truly ends.
