Gorean Weapons

This is the most accurate (if not the most complete) description of Gorean weapons known to exist.

By this, I mean there were no additions, suppositions or guesswork used in compiling these pages.

As an example, it seems most other websites add this to their description of the Gorean short sword:

'the blade of the Gorean short sword is narrow at the hilt, tapers to three inches wide and then tapers to a point at the tip'.

This addition simply does not appear anywhere in the Books. It is a blatant supposition. Sure, the blade -may- indeed taper, but the text does not -say- that it does.

Everything here is substantiated by over 360 direct references to text.
If it isn't in the Books, it isn't here.


I wish you well,

Here is an example:

A shield is the basic means of defense for a warrior. Normally it is large and round, behind which a warrior could even crouch down. [1] ¹ ". . .the large rounded shields common to Gorean infantry in the north, behind which a warrior might crouch. . ."

As part of the massive Book 30 update, I have added the following alphabetical index.
It lists all the different weapons and weapon related references I have found throughout the Books. Perhaps this will aid you in your search.
