About the Armory

    The categorization used in the Armory might be a little confusing to some, so this section is here to explain that.  Please remember that the way I'm categorizing weapons is not necessarily the way they are classified elsewhere.  Weapons that I couldn't find information on other than a short description do not have their own page.

• Blades: Any weapon that uses a hilt and a blade will be listed here.  This includes swords, daggers, rapiers, cudgels, and the like.
• Polearms: Any weapon that is a blade mounted on a pole/shaft is listed here.  Included are axes, halberds, and pikes.
• Spears: A usually triangular blade on a pole.
• Missiles: Missiles are projectiles that can be manipulated by a single person, including slings, javelins, bolas, crossbows, and bows and arrows.
• Siege: Siege weapons are listed in this section, such as catapults, siege towers, ballistas, etc.
• Other: Anything that did not fit into the above categories, such as tridents, nets, maces, clubs, whips, etc are included here.
• Armor: Defense is just as much a part of an armory as offense.  Here is various armor and shields.
• Heraldry: On shields and flags, there are often patterns and symbols, each meaning something different.  Here's an explanation of heraldry.
