Description
Sturdy oak and sharp metal alloyed with tiny amounts of green iron; a farmer's scythe is testimony to the skill of the artisan who crafts it. These responsive pole-arms allow the wielder to channel their passion into sweeping blows that unbalance even the most skilled of opponents. They take their name from an early (no doubt apocryphal) anecdote in which a League bravo attempts to intimidate a young Marcher yeoman, likening his bill to a farming implement. In some parts of the Empire, especially in the Marches and the Brass Coast, it is a point of pride to craft these weapons using metal reclaimed from agricultural tools.
