If you didn’t know already, I like weapons.
Who doesn’t, though? So, here are some weapons I designed for the characters in the Oakhaven books!
Eleanor’s sword! The hilt takes inspiration from standard Serethian weapons, but the blade is Ardenite in style. This weapon pays homage to Eleanor’s home countries.
The sword of King Thomas! Double fullers and a sleek distal taper would make this sword light in the hand, but the extra wide blade would give it considerable chopping power.
An example of the type of sword a Rialdanite sailor might use! No belt system for this one, because when Rialdanites go to battle, they aren’t putting their weapons away until the war is won.
This is the first sword I drew! Standard kit for Ardenite knights, or maybe even a rogue Rialdanite!
The sword of Melissa Baker, the Queen of Drama and Sass! With a narrow blade and extra wide fuller, this sword would be light enough for her to wield properly, yet heavy enough to do some damage.
Ava’s Serethian sword! I made sure to include the disarming hook on the cross guard and a left-handed carry system.
Here’s an example of an Acrenese sword! Light and nimble, more for sport combat and making showy gestures than actual war, throwing knives included because the Acrenese don’t practice archery.
