Battle axe



A battle axe (also battle-axe or battle-ax) is an axe specifically designed for combat. Battle axes were specialized versions of utility axes. Many were suitable for use in one hand, while others were larger and were deployed two-handed.

Axes designed for warfare ranged in weight from just over 0.5 kg to 3 kg, and in length from just over 30 cm to upwards of 1.5 m, as in the case of the Danish axe or the sparthaxe. Cleaving weapons longer than 1.5 m would fall into the category of polearms.

Nilfeheim battle axes generally fall into 2 classes:

Single Bit (One cutting edge) – in general use by all Neo Vikings.

Double Bit (2 cutting edges) – only warriors, First Born Sons, Clan Chiefs and Elders are allowed to carry one. Bereaver is an example of this class.
