Blunt Weapons

This is a list of base blunt weapons. Complete lists of one-handed and two-handed blunt weapons, including enchanted and unique ones, are also available.

1-Hand

The club is usually a crude, improvised one-handed blunt weapon common among less technologically sophisticated cultures like the Argonians, but it also a cheap and effective militia weapon used with a light shield in Cyrodiil and the Western provinces. - Garothmuk gro-Muzgub

The mace is a favored weapon of the Western knight, combined with a standard shield. Dwemer and Daedric maces, superb weapons, but expensive and rare, are prized heirlooms of the Dunmer Great House nobility. - Garothmuk gro-Muzgub

2-Hand Close

Heavy two-handed hammers were developed in the West to counter the defensive protection of the heavily armored Western knight. The iron warhammer has a single head with a balancing spike to penetrate plate armor. The steel warhammer, on the other hand, has two heavy heads, and is designed to batter or knock down an armored opponent. - Garothmuk gro-Muzgub
