Battleaxe

Battleaxes come in many different shapes and sizes, but are primarily axes designed or adapted for combat.

Single headed battle axe
These axes generally have handles the length of a young woman's arm and have a single head, generally making them slightly less balanced, but faster then dual headed ones. The counterbalance is oft placed in the lower back of the handle and the blade sometimes has a hook for disarmin an opponent.

Dual headed battleaxe
The Dual headed battle axe is somewhat heavier but better balanced then a single headed one, allowing for an equally devastating back-swing. Oft these axes have a relief carving depicting a scene of legend and/or runes that may or not be magic.

Doublehanded battle axes
These come with one or two heads, but are heavier and hit far harder then the previously mentioned axes. not to be confused with halberds and pole arms
