Colluphid Armoury : Morning Star (Variation 1)
Morning Star (Variation 1)
There are a number of disagreements between various sources on just exactly what sort of weapon falls
into the category of "Morning Star" and "Flail". Historically, a flail was a shaft at the end of which was a
freely swinging stick. It was originally used in farming and adapted for use as a weapon. A morning star
is meant to be a shaft attached to a chain attached to a spiked ball or balls. Here is a simple version of a
morning star (without the spikes).
Simply follow the instructions given for the poorman's flail and substitute
three chains attached to 2" wooden balls for the single chain attached to the 3" ball.
