== The Macuaham ==

The Coulritloxtec have few raw materials with which to make weaponry, and commonly use bones of their enemies and sacrifices for weapons. On the rare occasion that a lull in attacks from the Wyld is found, an expedition is launched to harvest the high-altitude hardwoods deep in the mists of Chaos. The wood from these barrel-shaped trees is then carved and honed into the finest weapons used by the Coulritloxtec. Though accomplished smiths, what metals they have were all smelted from the weapons left by their Fair enemies. These metals are used primarily for edges, swords, and stiff hafts.

The macuaham however, is a large club, and as such, is intended to produce an astounding amount of impact. The hardwoods of the chaos mists have an almost immeasurable ability to absorb vibration, making this material ideal for weapons meant primarily to deliver a crushing blow.

Used in primarily the same way as the lower, outside world uses a tetsubo, the macuaham is actually a double [http://www.famsi.org/research/pohl/images/aztec4figure09.jpg macuahuitl], carved as a square crushing surface with obsidian or steel blades lining the four edges rather than as a flat cutting weapon.
