Shieldbreaker

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

A shieldbreaker is often a one-handed axe, hammer or mace. It is especially favoured by the Steinr, who use it to great effect when fighting the well-armoured orcs that infest the lands to the west of the Empire.

Runesmiths often inscribe the rune Verys, rune of might, on a shieldbreaker. Although some smiths prefer to use Mawrig, the rune of storms, weapons bearing this mark are often considered to draw their wearers into dangerous situations; they are used by the skeinless but many others prefer to avoid them. This weapon is popular with many orcs, both the Imperial Orcs (especially their reavers), and the barbarians.
