Berserker's Warhorn

Berserker's Warhorn sits on the counter with a weight that feels like a story pressed into brass. Its bell gleams a weathered gold, the surface pitted from years of rain, sun, and hands that knew what it meant to lead a charge. The body is wrapped in a dark, cracked leather that’s been stitched and re-stitched so often you can see the faint glow of runes pressed into the grain. The mouthpiece, smooth as river-worn bone, invites a quick, decisive breath, while a red crest—faded but stubborn—loops along the rim like a banner that survived more campaigns than most soldiers did. When you tilt it, the horn seems to inhale the world and hold its breath, as if listening for the next drumbeat that will set a chorus into motion. Lore threads through it in the form of those engravings: lines that tell of a berserker captain who rode at the front with a single, unflinching purpose, and of the instrument’s role as both shield and trumpet. They say the horn was forged in a forge that kept the old songs alive, hammered into shape by a smith who believed a single blast could turn the tide of a skirmish and rally the wavering heart of a unit. The lore isn’t simply ancient myth; it threads into every skirmish players remember, every camp after a hard-fought night, where the horn’s call seemed to pull courage out of thin air. In actual play, the Berserker’s Warhorn isn’t just a pretty relic; it is a conduit for tempo and trust. When you sound it, the air itself seems to tighten, and those nearby feel a nudge in their hands and feet—the kind of nudge that nudges instinct into decisive action. Its melodies are designed for offense and resilience in equal measure: a roar that sharpens focus, a cadence that quickens a team’s rhythm, and a chorus that steadies the nerves of allies under fire. It’s the instrument you hand a comrade when a frontline buckles, and the moment you hope another’s blade catches the light just a moment sooner because your horn’s tune gave them the edge. Beyond raw power, it carries a narrative—every note a reminder that a group can move as one, even when the distance between hearts feels endless. Prices drift in markets as slowly as banners in the wind, and that drift is where Saddlebag Exchange becomes part of the tale. A clerk with ink-stained fingers will quote a number that’s never written in stone, flipping a ledger with a practiced ease as you listen for the tick of a clock that isn’t your own. They’ll tell you the horn’s value shifts with patch notes, with stories from floor-lamps and campfires, with the rumor of a courier who swore he heard a Berserker marching through rain when the horn breathed its first bright note. It’s a place where legends meet logic, and the price of the horn becomes another rung on the ladder of a shared, winding history. Carrying Berserker's Warhorn, you are tethered to both the march and the memory. It is a tool, yes, but also a portrait—the kind you hang in the hall of your own adventures, a reminder that battle songs outlive the moment and continue to shape the next swing of the hammer, the next rallying cry, and the next brave step into the fray.
