I haven't really come up with much but I do have a few cool weapons of choice.

Here are the vallo weapons

A fairly new device was invented in the coast village, named Nebey. It is a orb that fits in a valloian's palm and is constructed of a green, ion rich material. When rubbed while holding a pair of protective rubber gloves, the orb gives off electricity as the friction activates the instability of the smooth, glass like material. This electrically charged object can then be lobbed at a dragon to give them an electric shock. Depending on the amount it is rubbed, the level of intensity can vary from stun to kill.

Another weapon of choice is the harpoon. Either constructed of crystal or metal, these are put in an ejection capsule where a coil spring contained by a clasp also are present in the capsule. When a switch on the side of the capsule is flipped, the latch is moved, allowing the coil spring to shoot out the 2 to 3 foot harpoon, depending on the capsule model. Unfortunately, no one has found a reasonable way of attaching the harpoon to the device, like a wire rope. The wire rope has not been invented. The capsule is a rounded cylinder that is strapped to the side of the body.



Here are the skrac weapons

Their main weapon of choice is the bone club. Although it is called this, the club isn't always a bone of some large prey item (usually caribou). Some are stone. Those training to use one train with wooden clubs. Some are nicely decorated with inscriptions and art.

Another weapon used in their feuds with the skatros is something called the splinter. It is a branch from a poisonous nettle that contains a potent neuro-toxin. Handling these with great care, a skreek will strike an enemy with this. When scratched with this, the foe will be paralyzed. They will either die as their heart stops or if in mid-air, the victim will fall to their death below.



The skatros themselves do not have anything besides their size and strength. The one thing that makes them even more deadly is their ability to fly higher than any other flying creature. They can utilize this by holding large boulders in their talons and dropping them on their quarry below.

The static globes are a neat idea. I like the science behind them, people don't usually explain that sort of thing. The harpoon guns are also really neat for the fact that they have no wire. Don't they have other ropes?

Well, this is REALLY old... Most of it isn't accurate anymore. :P

But since you like the static globes, I'll keep them, even though it's impossible in reality. :x :rofl: Thanks. :3

Oh yes, they have rope. :P Like I said, this is old stuff.

I have a typed up version of a new version of weaponry somewhere...

Oh, I can post it! I just need to type it up...

The Skrac weapons have not been modified, save the introduction of the halberd.

Valloian Weapons:
-These dragons are ones who will very much enjoy using swords, an ancient weapon from their underground kingdom. They are the inventors of steel-use weaponry and as of such are the ones who are most expert at its use.
There are many different types of swords to work with, from lithe rapiers to broadswords. Those in Nebey have developed something like a boomerang, but much swifter, in order to catch the many birds of the air and to fend off mountain tigers without getting too close. They do not possess any long-range weapons besides this.

Swordcrafting is an art. Some hilts are very artistic, some swords are made only for show even. Nobles of Dorimay will sport these gem-engraved items. They will not fight with these to avoid damaging them in any way.

Skatros weapons:
These hawk-like creatures prefer the bow and arrow combo. Many also prefer to use their natural abilities, as they are a peaceful nation and value family ethnics over fighting. They have little use for stone or metal, due to their heaviness. Being mainly nomadic, they make weapons from wood and easily obtainable materials. Silverwood is the best wood for bows.
They also use obsidian spears for closer combat. They even had something close to a dagger before the Valloians introduced swords to their culture. A stone could be shaped into a sharp slicing weapon who's purpose was to dispatch an enemy when forced to fight in close arial combat.

Cool! The idea of dragons using swords is pretty awesome...I think some of mine might do that too. ;)

Overall very cool, thanks for posting it! :D
