Volhurn Axe

The  is a weapon fairly well known in the areas around the Kingdom of Volhur, both for its presence as a common weapon for the cavaliers in the Kingdom's military, but also as a tool of utility as well.

Description
The Volhurn Axe is normally a fairly plain single-bladed axe, with a shaping more reminiscent of a felling axe, rather than a more traditional battleaxe. Going back to traditional times, the Cavaliers of Volhur were experienced woodsmen rather than just skilled with horses and martial combat; with many making their own lances and homes out of wood felled with one of these traditional weapons. Even in modern combat times, where firearms and magic exist alongside these more traditional weapons, these axes remain the signature weapon of many of the local cavaliers, while the knowledge and designs to produce these weapons has spread around the world.

The head of the Volhurn Axe is designed to be able to cut through primarily oak wood; with the double-bit design intended to be better for felling through the dense wood.

Native Abilities
These axes are resilient and normally incredibly sharp; with the metal holding an edge very well for extended periods of time. This factor enhances their strengths in combat, though the weight of the weapon is often a surprise for a new wielder. It is said that an expert wielding a Volhurn Axe is just as capable of cutting through a forest of men as he is cutting through a forest of trees, and in many cases the elites among the cavaliers have proven that true; even as they keep the traditions alive in their homes.

Wielders/Purchase Locations
The most notable wielders of the Volhurn Axe are the Royal Cavaliers of Volhur, the mounted force that made these weapons famous. Going back generations, the Volhurn Axe has been a signature weapon and tool of the cavaliers, and a common sight among soldiers and civilian yeomen in the region alike. Interestingly enough, the wielders include the secondborn prince; Kyle the Echidna, who shunned any idea of more powerful or enhanced variations upon the weapon to stand in solidarity with his fellow cavaliers.

Most blacksmiths have everything they need to produce a Volhurn Axe in their stores at all times; so the actual acquisition process behind the weapon is fairly simplistic; just order and receive.
