>>5296676As you move past the forests, you see a large sea side town fortified with large white walls. Above those walls are cannons which point in every direction, manned by soldiers in burgonet helmets and cuirasses.
The guards here are equipped with more sophisticated polearms and sidearms. Their langmessers (long knife) in particular catches your attention.
Langmesser is a single handed, single edged sword with a ‘nail’ along side a typical crossguard. The ‘nail’ is a slab of metal protruding on the right side of the sword, designed to protect the hand.
They are a lot more well funded compared to your town’s guards, and western powers have more influence here, judging from their armaments.
