Falcata

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Where did you find the reference to the blades that the Dunadain carry? I don't have access to any of my books right now.
Unfinished Tales, The Third Age, The Disaster of the Gladden Fields

Sounds rather like a gladius. Shortswords. Excellent. I like shortswords. :)

Having a reference like that to work with and base ones equipment on is invaluable, IMO.

I think we should start a thread that references Tolkien's descriptions of actual equipment.

Mirimaran, I choose you!
