Book content

...You know how our knights are, all too eager to dress head to toe in plate armor, so it comes as no surprise that Nistrians are obsessed with maces - around these parts they treat it as a noble weapon just as we do with our swords. If only you could see the local weapon shops for yourself: It's hard to imagine such a variety of maces anywhere else in the world. Some of the war hammers they sell are so peculiar that I have troubles understanding how they are supposed to be used in combat.

One time, I witnessed a weaponsmith demonstrating his wares to a customer. There was a straw dummy in the yard for this very purpose - and judging by its sorry state, the demonstrations were held rather often... The smith dressed the dummy up in a full set of armor, an Aldorian one by the way, took a war hammer, and swung at it... by the Host, I'd never seen such a devastating strike!

The weapon made a sizable dent in the plate, and the hammer head got stuck so deep in the mangled metal and straw that the smith had to spend a considerable amount of effort to pull it free. I definitely wouldn't want to trade places wtih that dummy...
