The atlatl.  Interesting weapon, perhaps we could find somewhere in Caelereth to put it.  I don't think I'd want to do the entry myself though, unless I happen to get some very good ideas for it, so I'm just putting this here and hoping someone will get inspired to write something.

hmm I don't see how you can make a sling in that shape and out of wood

Not quite.  The 'spear' is actually quite flexible, and the atlatl itself is used a little like a sling, to throw the projectile at the target.  The links at the bottom of the page lead to pages with more detailed information on how the weapon works.

the idea of the atlatl is to serve as an arm extension, increasing the arc of the spear when launching, wich effectively increases the speed at wich it flies... the longer the lever used, the more force it exerts..

This is a very old weapon, I saw it in an amusing film about  a group of early humans searching for fire. Don't know, if it was show in English. If you find it, I recommend it - and it shows, how this weapon is used (It was an advantage when fighting with groups which had just a normal spear or when hunting animals, for the distance to the prey can be longer)

The film:
AM ANFANG WAR DAS FEUER
("La guerre du feu")
(F/CDN, 1981)

[Stormraven]

To make it more Santharian the throwing arm could be made of bone and it could be used by some of the desert peoples. Making an atlatl is actually very easy, I learned to make one in a wilderness survival class I took.

Last 10 Shouts: Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels 07 February 2012, 20:43:16 Thanks! Artimidor Federkiel 07 February 2012, 18:50:03 It's a Caltharian female name - see here. Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels 07 February 2012, 17:47:28 Art - Queen Shawaldah, wife of Dagolth, from which tribe has she been, can't see this from the name. Artimidor Federkiel 07 February 2012, 13:07:36 Well, no problem with that - every help here is appreciated! Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels 07 February 2012, 13:06:07 Yes, it seemed a bit easier than to restart/finish my big projects Artimidor Federkiel 07 February 2012, 12:58:42 We've got until 200 a.S. so far, so yup, from then on we'd need more. Are you planning to work on the next hundred years or so? Ta'lia of the Seven Jewels 07 February 2012, 12:41:03 Art - the Golden Age of Kings, after Dagold would be the next to write down, or did I miss something? Deklitch Hardin 03 February 2012, 02:10:40 Internet back Deklitch Hardin 02 February 2012, 11:59:58 rain here over the past two/three weeks have played havoc with our internet connection at home. sneaking in a couple of minutes at work. Not sure when it'll be back on at home. Hopefully within 24 hours. Artimidor Federkiel 31 January 2012, 22:18:02 Oh, and I've now also spotted the piece - among so many other great one's you've gathered there! Bonus suggestion: Never knew that Phylicia Rashad from the Cosby Show is such a great gospel singer - see here, start at ca. 4:30 - really great voice!
