Mace
- In Redwall: Was used by Sunflash the Mace in Outcast of Redwall.
- Origin: Unknown
- Time Period: From the Stone Age through the Middle Ages
- Description: The mace is little more than a spiked ball on a stick.
It could be a club with spikes embedded into it, or (as seen below) a metal
ball with long spikes welded to it.
- Use: The mace was a crushing weapon, useful when fighting someone
wearing only chain mail. Whereas a blade would not be able to slice
through the chain mail, a mace could break bones quite easily - or skulls.
Even against a knight in armor, if wielded with enough force, it could be
deadly- especially with a blow to the head.
