Spear
: Cheap and effective, the spear has largely been replaced by the longer pike in most professional infantry units but remains in use with more traditional cavalry in the form of the lance.
:: Cost:
 
Halberd
: An axe blade and spike mounted atop a long pole. Halberds are exellent for supporting the more cumbersome Pike, and are also carried by royal guards across the known world.
:: Cost:
 
Pike
: Perhaps the simplest and most effective way to arm an army. Pike formations are equally able to ward off cavalry and opposing infantry with a forest of pikes. Against disciplined enemy infantry armed with pikes, engagements tend to become a contest of endurance in the "push of pike".
:: Cost:  
 
===Ranged===
 
Throwing Axe
: A thrown axe of the sort used by Franks and Dwarves everywhere.
:: Cost:
 
Javelin
: Light spears primarily intended for throwing.
:: Cost:
 
Bow
: Simple bows are still popular in many regions for hunting and defense.
:: Cost:
 
Compound Bow
: Weapon of choice for the sensible barbarian horse archer.
:: Cost:
 
Longbows
: Standard longbows made of yew, or more favorable or less favorable but cheaper or more common woods.
:: Cost:
 
Crossbow
: While having a slower rate of fire than traditional bows, the crossbow's bolts are considerably more potent.
:: Cost:
 
Arbalest
: The more powerful metal cousin of the basic crossbow, an arbalest is one of the deadliest ranged weapons around.
:: Cost:
 
Arquebus
: Simple and easy to construct, the Arquebus was the first firearm used by the Alfar Imperial Legions.
:: Cost:
 
Leadcaster
: More expensive and much more complex than a simple Arquebus, the magitech Leadcaster is the pinnacle of recent firearm development.
:: Cost:
 
Hand Leadcaster
: A compact version of the shoulder fired standard leadcaster. While it lacks the range and power of the full sized gun, its smaller size makes it perfect for use by mounted troops.
:: Cost:
 
==Personal Armor==
 
===Light===
 
Padded Jacket
: A simple reinforced jacket.
:: Cost:
 
===Medium===
 
Mail
:  While seen as somewhat dated in this era of heavy plate, older styles of mail armor are still commonly used by feudal foot soldiers and poorer knights alike.
:: Cost:
 
Lamellar
: Armor consisting of small plates that have been laced together in overlapping rows.
:: Cost:
 
Plated Mail
: Mail armor that has been reinforced by the addition of metal plates.
:: Cost:
 
===Heavy===
 
Partial Plate  
: While not providing the comprehensive protection of full plate armor, partial plate still offers better mobility and superior visibility over a suit of full plate, in addition to being cheaper to produce.
:: Cost:
 
Full Plate
:  The favored armor of nobility and knightly cavalry. Expensive, but is more than worth the price for the protection it offers.
:: Cost:
 
Superheavy Plate
:  Impossibly thick armor used by monstrous creatures or the super humanly strong.
:: Cost:
 
===Shields===
 
Buckler
: Scottish targes, bucklers, and other small shields. They cannot cover much target area against a rain of missiles, but provide a significant advantage in close combat.
:: Cost:
 
Light Shield
: Shields of fair size but simple and light construction. Light shields provide good protection and coverage against lighter weaponry, but are too flimsy to withstand weapon weaponry.
:: Cost:
 
Full Shield
: Good defensive boosts against all forms of attack.
:: Cost:
 
Tower Shield
: These are large, heavy shields that cover practically the entire body against attack. They are very solid against projectiles and formidable protection for ranks of spear. Tend to be a bit unwieldy in a general melee.
:: Cost:
 
Pavise
: Useless in close combat but provide exceptional ranged protection.
:: Cost:
 
==Miscellaneous==
 
===Special Skills===
 
===Special Gear===
 
===Mounts===
 
Rouncey
: An ordinary horse suitable for a wide range of purposes, the expense of maintaining superior war horses means that many more common ones are used by cavalrymen and scouts in times of war.
:: Cost:
 
Courser
: A capable warhorse used by mounted men at arms and poorer knights. While not as expensive or prized as a Destrier, they are well suited for use by cavalrymen.
:: Cost:
 
Destrier
: The finest warhorses available, Destriers are tough and fast. They are unquestionably the mount of choice for Knights in both battle and tournament.
:: Cost:
 
Elephant
: There is an elephant in the way.
:: Cost:
 
==Warstriders==
 
===Strider Weapons===
 
Giant Mauls
: Simple clubs, hammers and related bashing weapons, appropriately sized-up for warstriders.
:: Cost:  ?? Gold
 
Giant Swords
: Warstrider-sized swords.  Eminently capable of cleaving striders, knights, dragons and houses.
:: Cost:  ?? Gold
 
Strider Leadcasters
: A Strider Leadcaster is roughly equal in size to a light artillery piece like a Falconet.
:: Cost:
 
===Strider Armor===
 
Iron Plate
: Usually readily available and relatively inexpensive, iron is by far the most common metal used in warstrider construction.
:: Cost:
 
Adamantium Plate
: Only the most expensive warstrider designs are protected by adamantium armor.
:: Cost: Adamantium ?
 
===Strider Equipment===
 
===Strider Skills===
 
==Artillery==
 
===Siege Engines===
 
Bombard
: A fairly simple large caliber gun or mortar used to batter down fortified walls.
:: Cost:
 
Trebuchet
: Largely supplanted by cannons, the wooden Trebuchet is still used by the armies of more conservative or remote nations.
:: Cost:
 
===Field Artillery===
 
Culverin
: One of the most common pieces of battlefield artillery, the first Culverins were used by great effect by the Alfar Legions against enemies who could at best field unwieldy full sized cannons.
:: Cost:
 
Demi-Culverin
: An excellent all purpose gun, the Demi-Culverin is a popular choice for armies on the move, where it is easy to transport while still retaining considerable range and power.
:: Cost:
 
Falconet
: The lightest cannon in common use, a Falconet is roughly similar in size and power to the oversized firearms used by warstriders. Highly mobile, Falconets serve as an excellent defense against oversized enemies and giant monsters.
:: Cost:
 
Ballista
: Somewhat like a giant oversized crossbow, the Ballista is an ancient but still effective field weapon.
:: Cost:
