Greatclub

Heavy and dangerous blunt weapon.

"Kratam held his greatclub out high and brought it to bear on the monster's leg. The force of this swing would have shattered the bones of any other creature but not the giant. When the club hit the monster there was a loud crunch. Kratam thought he got it until the stone head of the club cracked and crumbled to pieces."
-A telling of the Tale of Toranti and Kaztora

Cultural Significance

The greatclub is a simple weapon, effective in the right hands, but not possessed of any adventure or romanticized notion like the rapier.

Manufacturing process

A greatclub could be a properly proportioned branch found on the ground or an ornate ceremonial weapon that required different craftsmen to create it.
