The Bitthaevrian dematoil is a custom-designed moringstar that is not only a potent personal combat tool but also the ultimate symbol of a Bitthaevrian warrior's ability. The spikes of the weapon's ball are quills taken from warriors the wielder has defeated in personal combat. The greater the warrior, the more quills on the weapon and the more damage it will do.
All Bitthaevrians have large quills on their elbow joints; the stronger and older they become, the larger these quills become. Most great warriors have quills of considerable size: if they are bested, the warrior who has defeated them is given the right to take the largest quill of their weapon arm and affix it to his dematoil. |
