Book content
...Eeders village is a remote, inhospitable, and overall a rather unpleasant location, so it was easy not to overstay my welcome. Surrounded from almost all sides by dense woods, Eeders is known for two things: its lumber mills, which send timber straight to the Brynn docks, and its perpetually combat-ready militia.
Sons of Eeders fight with heavy poleaxes, their skill in wielding them is unparalleled in all of Aldor. The variation they use the most is known as an "eederax", eponymous with the place of its invention. It bears a resemblance to Skadian bardiches, but with a hook attached to the back end of the axeblade - Eeders militiamen are quite adept at using it to dismount enemy horsemen.
You can guess what happens to those horsemen afterwards: Eeders fighters are both dexterous and persistent in combat, aiming their strikes at the head and limbs. So even if their hapless opponent manages to gather his bearings and survive the follow-up attack, he'll probably be left a cripple: eederaxes chop arms just like lumberjack axes do tree branches.
