    Greetings all and @DarkStarr. I thought I might post some weapons and armor that I saw at a museum in Baku, Azerbaijan as ideas for future items in game. I really like the mace in the third picture. These were actual things used during that 13 and 14 centuries in the Caucasus area. I like the double sword but we already have one of these in game but the 2 bladed dagger looks cool in the first picture. Also the spiked helmet would be great for body slam.

    Thats why we need a minotaur, to have a spawn of minotaur in our dungeon labyrinth and he could drop that mace! :)

    Something tells me that mace was more decorative than useful.

    We could/should all run down to our local museums and post pics of any armor and weapons they have on display...

    I was just at the Detroit Institute of Arts yesterday... They have moved some of the pieces, but in the main entry, there's a hall of armor and weapons... They would certainly fit well in Shroud. (Maybe later today, I'll go to the DIA website and pull down the collection images and post them here. It's really nifty stuff!
