A stylized take on Ollie Canal's Skole race from the setting of the world of Rym. A people of quiet warriors, these wolves are known more for fearless action than for conversation.
A Human soldier has been set alongside a Skolish couple with their pup for purposes of size comparison. Note the worried expression on his features as he observes their brandishing of cultural weapons known as Hammerblades; these weapons are utilized by building up momentum from successive swings, much as an unarmored Human berserker would do with an axe, inspiring fear in his enemies while simultaneously making it more difficult to directly attack the flurry of weapon strikes.

You know it's funny, I'd never really questioned it until now. I still imagine it'd hurt to get hit by a sharpened rock on a stick though, and in a fantasy setting like Rym, there's quite a bit of "this works because it looks good."
Two-handed swords in the middle ages were pretty close to the idea of letting the momentum get things going, even if not used as described here; the steel of two-handed swords wasn't sharpened as keenly because the goal was to break bones rather than cleave through in the case of larger weapons. It was a great way to take someone down off of a horse!
Thanks for the comment!

The deal with hammer blades isn't so much of the edge.. it's just that they're made of adamas, a hard metal that basically ignores any kind of damage resistance and is damn near impossible to break. That plus the brute strength they can bring behind it?
Whatever they hit is as good as dead, be it man or machine.
