Finally get somebody naked in this story and it’s a reject from a 70s adult film. Thwarting expectations left and right, here. Spent years studying the dark ages and finally got to put it in a story. I’d always read that berserk was based off of the phrase “without armor” but maybe not.
From what I’ve read, berserks typically wore nothing but bear or wolf skins into battle. 😉
Like I said, I’d read early that Berserk was from a phrase that meant without armor. What’s scarier than a hairy naked guy swinging an ax and foaming at the mouth? A bear would be positively normal compared to that. And looking at his chest, how do you know that’s NOT a bear skin?
All I can do is laugh at that sight. 😀
