NAME
axe

DESCRIPTION
These weapons were originally used for everyday tasks such as chopping
wood, but at some point warriors realized that they would be excellent at
cleaving flesh and metal as well. Axes depend on a powerful swing to be
effective.

The throwing axe is a smaller axe that is used in combat by some
warriors. Throwing axes are similar to throwing daggers, except they
have wider blades and generally do more immediate damage than daggers.

Two handed axes are large, oversized axes designed to be gripped with
both hands. Two-handed axes are double bladed, and can easily be used to
dismember an opponent through slashing.

A barbarian's favourite weapon, an axe has no match in power except for the cavalier's lance. These decay rather quickly however, so always have a spare on hand.

despite there bein no good axe (from what i've seen) that is nodecay, the raw power of axes makes them worth training if ya can

The axe is the strongest all-out-brute-strength weapon in Alyria. At many class plateaus, the strongest weapon available will be an axe. The only down side of axes is their inaccuracy--but their strength balances this negative.
