Maces

Maces are blunt weapons featuring a heavy head mounted on a short handle, designed to deliver powerful strikes. Historically used in warfare, they are effective against armored opponents because their concentrated force can crush armor and bone. Maces come in various styles, including flanged or spiked versions, but all share the goal of maximizing impact. They require less precision than swords, making them practical for close combat. Today, maces are mostly used in ceremonial contexts, reenactments, or as symbols of authority, retaining their historical significance as intimidating and effective weapons.
