View source for Hand-to-Hand Weapons

Throughout much of the [[Web of Worlds|Web's]] history, hand-to-hand weapons were the choice instrument of killing. Whether a sword, axe, or club, these weapons have been used in countless wars and far longer than the guns that have largely replaced them. However, in some of the poorest corners of the Web, these weapons are still largely employed. This is rare, often found only in the least developed regions that are largely isolated than from the connected Web of Worlds. Furthermore, these weapons are still employed by modernized nations in specialized cases. Some weapons, as magical artifacts, are far more potent than even the best small arms. Others are useful underneath specific circumstances.
