Thundering Mace
Description
These weapons strike with incredible force. The tempest jade inlaid into the head and handle enhance the weapon's momentum and hurl the enemy to the ground - sometimes literally lifting them off the ground with the power of the blow before bringing them crashing back down to earth, prone and vulnerable. Many foes are unprepared for the might blow this weapon can strike, and the moment of fear and confusion coupled with their disadvantageous position makes them easy prey for any follow up strikes.
Several magistrates are known to maintain a small stock of these weapons, issued to trusted adjutants and investigators for the express purpose of preventing suspected criminals from evading capture. In some quarters, they may be called a Watchman's Rod or more informally a Culpritbane Cudgel.
