"King Argrath knew, though, that until the full of the moon the hoplites
would not attack, only defend (though in defence they were
invulnerable). So he waited, and he waited, as the iron spearpoints
shone more and more redly in the ever-brighter moonlight before him,
until the Red Moon was full. Then, as one man the Red Army of the North
turned about, falling to their knees to offer praise to the Full Moon at
their rear. At that moment, Argrath unleashed his berserkers, men who
fought naked, swinging great swords as tall as themselves: swirling and
chopping they ran amok through the prostrated ranks of the army upon
their prayer-mats, and left none living..."
