Flail

Description

The flail is a brutal and unpredictable weapon, consisting of a solid haft connected by a short chain to a heavy striking head. The head is commonly forged from iron or steel, sometimes spiked or flanged, designed to deliver crushing blows that are difficult to block or deflect.

In combat, the flail excels at bypassing shields and armor. The flexible chain allows the head to whip around defenses, striking with bone shattering force. While devastating, the weapon requires skill and control, as careless use can leave the wielder exposed or off balance.

Often associated with disciplined warriors or specialized fighters, the flail is both feared and respected on the battlefield. Its violent motion and rattling chain create an intimidating presence, turning momentum and timing into overwhelming destructive power.
