	* '''Fanged Crusader:''' A Deserter from a "[[Tomb Kings\|Deceased Army of a Nameless War for a Forgotten Kingdom]]" with sharp, wolf-like teeth and a perchant for brutality and violence. At the somewhat low price of being the only class unable to use scrolls, you also get the only class in the book that uses a d10 for it's life die, with a boost to your strength and Toughtness which makes you surprisingly bulky, for OSR standards anyways. Amongst the starting bonuses for the class there are included the option for a sword that can infect enemies and a mangy, loyal dog to follow you around.		* '''Fanged Crusader:''' A Deserter from a "[[Tomb Kings\|Deceased Army of a Nameless War for a Forgotten Kingdom]]" with sharp, wolf-like teeth and a perchant for brutality and violence.

	* '''Gutterborn Scum:''' The shitstain of society, bandits and thugs alike ranging from petty criminals to outright serial murderers and rapists can fall into the classification of a Gutterborn Scum, as long as one is willing to stab a fellow man in the back rather than seek "chump work" to get your next fill.

	Classes in Mörk Borg are the expected result of a [[Dark Fantasy]] setting that's even shittier than the usual fare. Every class is a mix of a tormented, lost, deranged and desperate somebody - which to be honest, is not that of an unfair description of someone who is autistic enough to go on D&D-style adventures in a world that's edgier than [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]] at it's worst.

	Classes get a special starting HP and omen dice, plus an exclusive unique power/artifact/ability to their class, which are generally pretty useful, though sometimes limited in use or vulnerable to loss during game sessions. Fan books add dozens of fan-made classes, helped by the fact they are pretty simple in design with the only "real effort" coming from making up the class concept in the first place ~~but~~ still allowing for the creation of unique and creative <s>adventurers</s> ''scum'' types.

	And why's that you may ask? Well, beside the aesthetics that would remind metal heads of a new-age doom metal concert, Mörk Borg is unapologetically, incredibly, ball-bustingly '''DIFFICULT'''. Even if you have the [[This Guy\|nicest, kindest, most charming and caring DM on the planet]], the game wants you dead. The game is [[Crunch\|so goddamn crunchy]] that it wants you to feel like you live in a world that will do anything in its power to kill you, [[grimdark\|it wants you to feel that everything is on the brink of extinction and you're going with everything going out with the storm]]. And it does so by punishing for anything that you do wrong. It's not even like Dark Souls, because at least Dark Souls rewards you for doing good.		And why's that you may ask?

	Do you have the required level of autism to read the confusing game booklet that is such a mess to read, its Index is at the end of it, your character sheet comes before the pages that explain how any of your stats and perks work~~, and~~ most of the pages are filled with fluff that does not serve any purpose until you get to the end-game? But most importantly, do you have the testicular fortitude to go through this literal hellspawn of a game that will stab, punch, kick, torture, murder, axe and club you till you pass out?

She sits on her throne in Alliáns, her gaze, touch and breath draining the world of any vibrancy, any comfort or heat. She knows this, and yet she still craves something to relieve her of the absolute grayness that is her world.

	Another lore snippet from Mörk Borg: The Goblins of the setting are actually the result of a curse, similar to either Lycanthropy or Vampirism. If a Goblin stabs or bites you, there's a chance you'll be afflicted with the Goblin Curse & turn into a Goblin too, and they're all giddy and insane.

	There's also an Undead Character by the name of "Skelly Joe". Skelly Joe appears on the cover of the game, and is supposed to be some sort of undead [[Gnoll]] [[Skeleton]]. He resembles a human skeleton with only the flesh and fur remaining upon a piglike-snout and furry head with four horns reminiscent of Baphomet.

	Yes, all that sounds ridiculous. But that's also one of the most charming things about Mörk Borg: it's very willing to go above and beyond to make the setting so ridiculously grimdark that it loops around and becomes hilarious. Playing a game that is only pure suffering isn't any fun, so the developers used black comedy to make the misery funny, and to great effect. Playing the game seriously is fine, ~~bit~~ it also misses the point that you're supposed to also be laughing at the absurdity and bleakness.		Yes, all that sounds ridiculous.
