There are many reasons why being a berserker is truly a curse. There is no one that does not fear you for who you are. Every day is a test to stay in control of the demon within. In the world of the berserker there is always work as a mercenary. The only people not openly fearful of a berserker are the lords willing to hire them.
The general fear of the berserkers is founded in reality. If a berserker becomes over-emotional a massive torrent of raw energy comes to the surface. There are many historical accounts of a single berserker leveling entire towns. When in a rage there are no friends or foes, just targets.
A berserker rarely lives passed their early twenties due to the harsh lifestyle and near constant battle. Berserkers also often die of extreme exhaustion during prolonged battles. Older berserkers eventually learn a level of control that makes them the deadliest warriors in the world. A master berserker cannot be defeated by any single opponent on an open field of battle.
An organized effort to locate berserkers at a young age is active in all lands, but no system is perfect and some simply slip by. Those that go unnoticed usually end up dying in an explosion of power. The few survivors normally become hunted wanderers, and can only find work in the criminal world.
