: Oh, and we know sheep exist, since a zerk says "Ghol
: may taste like haggis." :)
Good point.
: They're not dead. (I'm surprised you haven't been swarmed
: by a torch-wielding mob already, as I was when I only
: mentioned that they were *physically* undead.) Balor
: granted a tribe of berserks immortality while they
: were still alive; it's just an unpleasant form of
: immortality wherein they wither away like mummies but
: don't actually die. It's hardly farfetched that some
: of the girls of the tribe would be willing to work for
: Balor too, and that he would be willing to let them,
: especially if they already had some magical skillz.
: And Myrms' current names are simply depersonalized
: contractions of their original berserk names. As such,
: Shiver would have had an actual zerk name like, I
: dunno, "Ravanna splitter of bones" back when
: she was human, then contracted it to
: "Bonesplitter" once she became a Myrm.
Myth is most likely a male-dominant world. Women simply don't belong to the warrior castes. This has been extremely rare, if it ever happened, in past history. The few examples of the opposite are among South American natives as far as I know.
Oh, and how many berserks have become sorcerors? Let alone berserk women...
We should also not jump to conclusions with the idea of relation to berserks.
: To be honest, I'm not even sure all the myrms we see
: ingame are guys. Exactly how do you distinguish
: between 300-year-old dried-up guys and girls in
: loincloths? Methinks most of the fat deposits that
: make a girl obviously a girl would be gone by now, and
: I certainly can't see the onscreen myrms well enough
: to measure the width of their hips. :)
Females are much smaller (and weaker). A prime reason they were just about never warriors.
