The Falchion Sword

The Falchion Sword, or "Falchion" for short, is a one-handed, single-edged sword that originated many centuries ago. Falchion comes in different types, such as Cleaver Falchions and Cusped Falchions. The Cleaver Falchion is a sword that is related to a meat cleaver, but is somewhat more wider and sharper than a usual meat cleaver; However, apart from the profile, they present a very thin blade, often only 1.2 mm thick spines, 7 cm from the point with a full flat grind tapering to a very acute edge. These swords barely exist, but only several still roam around. They are also known as "anti-cloth armour weapons." The Cusped Falchion is a sword that is similar to the sword, großes Messer, with a height of 37.5 inches (95.25 centimetres) length, and 31.5 inches (80.01 cm) with its straight blade which bears a cusped or flare-clipped tip. Due to it being debated that it is an actual influence of a sword that is called the "Turko-Mongol" type sabres. It is now categorized as an independent development as now sabres don't have this type of cusp.

The Longbow

The Longbow is a type of bow that is tall – roughly equal to the height of an elf – allowing the archer a fairly long draw, at least to the jaw. A longbow is not significantly recurved. Its limbs are relatively narrow so that they are circular or D-shaped in cross section. It has a relation to the Flatbow, but the difference is that, in cross-section, a flatbow has limbs that are approximately rectangular. The Longbow is used for many kinds of special things, such as hunting, archery, and for warfare. The Longbow was made from a special plant, called "Taxus Baccata", or "yew" for short, or if they were unavailable, they would use "Ulmus Glabra", or "Wych Yew" for short. It was a self bow made of a single piece of wood, but modern longbows may also be made from modern materials or by gluing different timbers together. A longbow is expected to be the height of 1.82 metres (72 in) long.
