Throwing Axe

“I don’t carry throwing daggers because I don’t think they do enough damage. You would need a lot of luck to kill an enemy with one. Throwing axes, on the other hand, are an entirely different matter.”
— Jorge Oakenfield, Andergastan mercenary, 1036 FB

Throwing daggers are more easily concealed, but throwing axes cause more damage. It is true that they are not particularly suited for close combat, but their range matches that of daggers. They are becoming increasingly common in some cultures in mid-Aventuria, especially with performers and scoundrels. Honorable fighters sometimes use them in combat at short range.

“Throwing daggers are more useful. Have your ever tried to hide throwing axes in your boot?”

— Carolan Calavanti, Vinsaltan vagabond

“Not quite as heavy as a cut-tooth, but it is easier to throw.”

— Geron Bladebreaker, mercenary
