Elven Battle-Axes are extremely rare weapons. Lighter than normal battle-axes, the blades are razor sharp, and have an unsurpassed balance. They are descended from the traditional woodsman axes of Ulthuan, but they have developed over the centuries into elegant weapons of war. When wielded properly, they can chop a man in half with a single blow. These weapons are not available on the open markets in the Empire; though, conceivably, they could be for sale in Ulthuan itself (getting to Ulthuan, of course, is another matter entirely...).[1a]
