Flame Berserkers

All Dweghom possess an incredible affinity to the elements of Earth and Fire, a legacy from the struggles their ancestors waged with the Dragons and their creations. While this Gift manifests in a limited fashion amongst most, granting them their outstanding endurance and strength, amongst a limited number the manifestation is much more intense. Among the Clans, these souls are given to the Tempered. There they face a choice: either the hobbling of their Gift that the individual might return to his clan and live in peace, or its mastery under the tutelage of the Tempered. To allow the Gift to run rampant is to invite death, the body overwhelmed in an agonizing fashion as the power grows beyond their capacity to master it. Unable to vent this power, it slowly leeches into their physical form, reducing flesh and bone to ash, or crystalizing and petrifying the wearer from the inside out.
