Book content
...Eeders village is a remote, inhospitable, and overall a rather unpleasant location, so it was easy not to overstay my welcome. Surrounded by dense woods from three sides, 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", named after 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 riders.
You can guess what happens to those riders afterwards: Eeders fighters are both dexterous and persistent in combat, aiming their strikes at the head or the limbs. Even if their hapless opponent manages to gather his bearings and survive the follow-up strike, he'll probably be left a cripple: eederaxes chop arms with the efficacy of a lumberjack axe chopping branches.
