Origin[]

The Nordic legend of the draugr is that of a person brought back to life in their own decayed body through their own will, usually to enact a specific vengeance. These creatures are incredibly strong and monstrous, willing and able to kill anyone and everyone they can.

Effects[]

The helmet transfers the mind, personality, and will of its former owner, a berserk Nordic warrior, to whomever puts it on. This turns them into a feral zombie-like creature, attacking any living thing in a blind rage and removing all sense of reason. Removing the helmet will not restore the host's original personality, leaving them a mindless husk.

Collection[]

The helmet washed ashore after the artifact-heavy battle later called "Ragnarok". The Warehouse acquired it after a warrior put it on and went on a rampage.
