Morning star

Morning stars (also "morningstar") were a simple type of one-handed melee weapon.

Description
Morningstars were very similar to a spiked club, but with refinements. Their shafts were usually made of wood and longer than a heavy mace. Their heads were typically round and covered in metal set. Around twenty spikes were set into this metal, radiating like a star, with the biggest spike extending straight from the top..

Weaponology
The morning star normally used one-handed and did both bludgeoning and piercing damage. It was a simple weapon that did not require any training for most character classes.

Realmslore
Few, if any, deities used the morning star as their favored weapon, although the dead power Girru once did.
