Description
A re-purposed farming tool, the Reaving Mattock has a heavy steel head and a stout oak handle inlaid with tempest jade. What a mundane mattock does to hard or frozen soil, the Reaving Mattock does to enemy soldiers, leaving them bleeding to death or crippled. They are unsurprisingly popular with the agriculturally-minded yeomen of the Marches and with the Varushkans, and much less so with the citizens of the League, Dawn and Urizen due to their associations with farming.
These weapons were among the first weapons crafted by the Imperial Orc artisans after they joined the Empire, many of whom were familiar with similar tools from their time in the mines, or working the farms. They have remained a popular choice, especially with those Orcs who prefer to spend their time slaughtering their barbarian cousins rather than embracing the strict discipline of the Imperial armies.
