As a result of in individualistic nature of the world, great detail is given to personal defense and thus innovation in weaponry and combat is quite vast. This has lead to extreme forms of common weapons that defy conventional logistics and are often esoteric in their weilding and availability.
Obos
Favored by steath-focused individuals and caravan guards who seek to appear unarmed, Obos are thowing weapons made of many elastic bands woven around a core of clay or hardened mud until a ball is formed. Thin triangular blades are then woven between the bands. When the weapon is thown at a target it bounces off after depositing the sharp blade into the target's flesh. The victim often fails to ralise they have been cut until after the fact, when these razer thin blades need to be removed. Paired with venom, these weapons can be quite deadly and offer a great aspect of surprise.
Scissorblades
Scissorblades are versitile weapons that can be wielded two handed or one handed. They are often constructions of two double edged blades conjoined by a hinge or similar mechanism. They trace their roots to the bloodletters of the
Oazallan Desert. While there are many variations of design and execution of these weapons, one of the most striking is that of the
Greatscissor which is composed of a massive single edge blade paired with a large striking arm.
SwordAxe
Strange weapon hailing from the
Omenwood , originally constructed as an answer to the Gnarlwood, the SwordAxe is thick sword curved into almost a question mark and sharpened to a heafty point. While having the properties of a sword, axe, sickle, and pickaxe this weapon requires an inordinate amount of strenth and dexterity in order to be used properly.
Trollsplitter
Favored among veteran hunters for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintainance, the troll splitter resembles a very large cleaver. In fact, it IS a very large cleaver. Trollsplitters vary from being hand-and-a-half all the way to 4-handed massive weapons of bolidy destruction. They are made to finish battles quickly with a single decisive blow and can often dispatch even the heartiest of beasts faster than most conventional weapons would allow.
