Mace
- For the character, see Mace Malone.
A mace is a weapon with a heavy head on a solid shaft used to bludgeon opponents.
History
Maces have been a favorite weapon by many humans to destroy gargoyles in their stone sleep. Hakon himself used one when he and his band of Vikings destroyed the Wyvern Clan in 994. ("Awakening Part One", "City of Stone Part One")
Constantine III and Gillecomgain were armed with maces when they destroyed the Sruighlea Cell of Demona's Clan. ("The Gate") Duncan would later arm himself with one when he destroyed several members of the Lunfanan Cell. ("City of Stone Part Three")
Though some have used them to merely have as defense such Goliath arming himself with a mace to fight against Macbeth while at his manor. ("Enter Macbeth") King Arthur Pendragon having been in several battles since being awakened has kept a mace on hand. ("Avalon Part Three", "Pendragon")
Burbank was given a mace to use as his weapon as opposed to a sword. ("The Reckoning")
But really, no one can say how many gargoyle clans fell to humans armed with maces. It is disturbingly ironic that Demona's weapon of choice in the Dark Ages was also a mace.
In modern times, the mace has been supplanted by the Quarryman Hammer, although, as of yet, no gargoyle has been destroyed by one. As of yet.
Ironically, Maza is Spanish for mace. [1]
