Grey Quarter: 40 gold

Nord Shops: "Get that ashskin shit away from me."

@gcold

Aw goddamnit, I'll sell it later.

Wait, this raises a different question. How much would Edith get from selling them?

Have we received payment for the action? If so, how much? Also, how much would that silver ring go for after some haggling?

What would be the process to becoming a city guard? How old does one have to be? Or does Windhelm have its own army, before 4E 201? Is there a type of conscription? Trying to find something militaristic for this guy to do before the war, as he would be 27 when it started.

@MacabreFox

Ask one of the guards, get in because of able body and having lived in the city for long?

I'm sure it's the same with you girls looking at guys, but whenever I see an attractive female in public I never wonder if her name sounds ugly. Just skim the links and find something that sounds masculine enough.

@Leidenschaft

go up to girl, ask for name

learn she's named rostam

suddenly

That's why I'm stressin' bout this name! I need a hot, manly man's name, but I don't want him to sound like a common blockhead >.>'

@MacabreFox

Name him Atgeir or something, you don't get more manly Viking than a fuck-off spear.

I think it's fair to say that arrows are designed to pierce, not cut.
You don't see archers on the field of battle attempting to sever a guys arm with a broadhead.
Amdittidly, that'd be interesting to watch.

@Leos Klien

Well, that's the point. Arrow may have sharp, but it's meant to be pokey. Spears also have sharp, but they're also meant to be pokey.

<Snipped quote by Peik>

I'm no expert either, but I assume, with absolutely no prior knowledge, broadhead arrows were made for, indeed, cutting into cloth or leather armor, but in conjunction with the point of the arrow piercing into the actual body of your enemy. So the main point of the arrow was still to dig into its target instead of cutting them up at range.

@Frizan

Well, dueling swords were also primarily made for thrusting attacks but they still had sharp edges.

<Snipped quote by Peik>

Well, technically, arrows don't have bladed edges, they have points, as they're made for puncturing and not cutting. So you can't really compare the two weapon types in the first place.

@Frizan

Broadheads look pretty cutty to me, but I'm no expert marksman.

But axe have sharp

@Leidenschaft

Well arrow also have sharp, but I don't see a marksman using similar techniques to a swordsman.
