Reblogged from Coffee And Dragons:
I was washing my hair in the shower this morning when I started thinking about the regrettable lack of weapon variety in Tolkienesque or "high" fantasy.
What? You mean you don't think about broadswords and morning stars in the shower?
Fantasy heroes and heroines almost invariably wield a sword of some description, while their companions wield axes, bows and arrows, or magical staffs.
Some rather brilliant remarks on weapons used in high fantasy.
