Berserker Priests of Ilneval

"'Ilneval commands our readiness... but he demands no civilized conflict' - Korgush Stoneheart"

Introduction
Ilneval is the general to Grumush, but that does not require cold, rational logic. Terror and rage are battlefield tools just as much as a sword or spear, and the Berserker Priests of Ilneval wield them with the precision of the rapier.

However, when Ekar and his forces fled to Udish-kadnek, with a combined elven and dwarven army on their heels, Stoneheart
