Chakram
Chakrams are circular blades from the Kav'orra Desert with a diameter of 4 to 12 inches. They are generally used as throwing weapons but can also be used in melee range. Due to their sharp outer edge, chakrams require years of training to use properly, with experts able to even spin them around their fingers.
Gada
Gadas are blunt maces traditionally made out of wood or metal. They are heavily used in martial art practices in the Kav’orra especially by wrestlers who use them during their training exercises.
Greatbow
Greatbows, also known as War Bows, are exceptionally large longbows that are as tall as 6 ft. or taller. They are often used from a kneeling position or from horseback, but large creatures or tall humanoids can sometimes use them while standing. They require great strength to be able to use.
Kanabō
Kanabōs are large Cinohan weapons, and are generally built with wooden or iron shafts covered with small studs or spikes. They can be considered as Monk weapons.
Stanced. You can choose to do bludgeoning or piercing damage on a hit with this weapon. You choose the damage type before you make the attack.
Heavy Kanabō
Heavy Kanabōs are large Cinohan weapons, and are generally built with wooden or iron shafts covered with small studs or spikes. The heavy variants can also be considered as monk weapons despite the weight.
Stanced. You can choose to do bludgeoning or piercing damage on a hit with this weapon. You choose the damage type before you make the attack.
Swordspear / Spearsword
Swordspears are large spears with oversized spearheads that are akin to swords in their own right. They are often used to intimidate opponents who wouldn’t fear a regular spear.
Stanced. You can choose to do slashing or piercing damage on a hit with this weapon. You choose the damage type before you make the attack.
Talwar
Talwars are curved sabres native to Eqos that are less curved than a typical scimitar. They are by far the most common and ubiquitous swords in the deserts, used by guards, soldiers, and mercenaries alike. More curved talwars are often called Shamshirs or Pulwars.
Tegha / Curved Greatsword
Teghas are curved greatswords that look like larger talwars. They are intimidating weapons that are often used by executioners in the Kav'orra Desert. While mostly similar to greatswords, the curved design allows for better cleaving than the straight blades would allow.
