Weapons Manual v3 by Cpt. Jaymz A. Tiberius Raulfin III, Thane of Bruma

The art or war has changed little since the Merethic Era, but the weapons have. Here I will give basic descriptions of several weapons and their primary use in combat. Most weapons fit into one or more overly simplified types, these are;

Blade: Any edged slashing weapon, like a sword or dagger.

Blunt: Any solid weighted weapon, like a club or mace.

Piercing: Any pointed thrusting weapon, like a spear.

After years training new recruits I have developed a basic system to classify weapons. It makes weapon cross-training much easier for the fresh recruit and the more experienced solider can confidently grab a new weapon in battle, proper training may lack with it, general knowledge will be second nature. The following details primary weapons and several improvised weapons.
