It’s going to be a very busy fortnight”
Technically, that’s a spiked club, not a morningstar nor a mace… But, eh…
I’ve always found that the technical descriptions change depending on where you’re researching. But I’ve always maintained that a mace is a fancy club of various designs, including flanged, sphere, or even just a long slender club. A flail is one or more spiked balls on a chain or just two poles linked with a chain, and a morning star is a spiked club of various designs.
Like swords, the definition is not so clear.
A mace is a blunt weapon, a type of club or virge that uses a heavy head on the end of a handle to deliver powerful blows. A mace typically consists of a strong, heavy, wooden or metal shaft, often reinforced with metal, featuring a head made of stone, copper, bronze, iron, or steel.
A morning star is any of several medieval club-like weapons that included one or more spikes. Each used, to varying degrees, a combination of blunt-force and puncture attack to kill or wound the enemy.
A club (also known as a cudgel, baton, truncheon, cosh, nightstick, or bludgeon) is among the simplest of all weapons: a short staff or stick, usually made of wood, wielded as a weapon since prehistoric times. The military mace is a more sophisticated descendant of the club, typically made of metal and featuring a spiked, knobbed or flanged head attached to a shaft.
So Rich is correct in calling it a mace, not a club. It’s just a very simple mace.
Has Dave seen this?
Because it reminds me of someone.
t!
Interesting, Sir Idries is a lefty. I see the mace, that is clear, but where is the morning star? Sir Idries is wielding a sword. Or did the title refer to the impending controversy as to whether that was a mace, or a morning star? *chuckle*
Maybe the swords name is "Morning Star’
May it be a nickname for sir Idries?
Throw the pommel stone! Throw the pommel stone!
