Topic: Voulge


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Voulge
A voulge (rarely called a pole cleaver) is a type of polearm that existed along side the similar glaive in medieval Europe.
Firstly the attachment of the voulge blade to the shaft was usually done by binding the lower two thirds of the blade to the side of the pole; the glaive would often have a socket built into the blade itself and was mounted on top of the pole.
In addition, while both had curved blades that of the voulge was broad and meant for hacking while that of the glaive was narrow and meant more for cutting.

Marshal Voulge's hope is to unite a number of nations against the elves and reverse the near complete disaster of Marshal Neverfang's command.
Voulge is a powerfully built and tall scro, standing almost 7 feet tall.
Typically, Voulge hurls his battle axe at an opponent (treat as hand axe for range), usually a spellcaster if one is obvious, and closes with the largest fighter with his bastard sword.

To all intents and purposes the two forms are so nearly the same as the types of voulges they resemble that there can be no real differentiation between them as far as function and form are concerned.
Voulge ~ Place a hefty cleaver at the end of a long, stout shaft, and the leverage which the pole gives the wielder will enable him to cleave through armor.
The voulge has no provision to keep the enemy at a distance in its simple form, but if the top front or back edge is ground down so as to provide a pointed dagger-like tip, the weapon assumes a more complete form.

It has since been revealed that he was sold to a underground dog fighting and circus ring as a pit fighter by the poachers, and he spent over two years being dragged from place to place.
It has also been revealed that Voulge is not itself the wolves true name, and that it was a title given to him by the ringmaster of the undergound circus ring.
He is missing half his left ear, and by the way he reacted to a poachers hunting knife infront of half of the wolfspirits pack, it is most likely it was cut off by a human.

The Voulge is reportedly a copy of a weapon once owned by MRL founder Hank Rheinhardt (I've probably butchered the man's name) and now in a Tennessee collection.
I read over at SFI that somebody broke a haft on their Voulge, but I got the impression that this may have been due to some defect in the wood rather than shoddy craftsmanship (apart from wood selection, I mean).
One was the voulge that probably is the same instance that Sean mentioned (I think it was Jamie Blacksmiths?), and the other was a recent one on SFI with a warhammer.

Typically, a ranseur would have no edges, a partisan would have edges only facing out, and a spetum would have edges on both sides of the protrusions.
Nethack has it just right referring to the voulge as a "pole cleaver", as this weapon probably was invented as a meat cleaver on a pole.
The voulge may look somewhat like a bardiche, but the blade is much shorter, and the shaft is longer.

Concave blades, some very pronounced, were not uncommon, and some halberd heads were made smaller (as the piercing axe) in order to better penetrate armor.
This very broad and heavy axe links the pole axes to the pole cleavers as a sort of transitional step between the two forms, although its only obvious use is as a military arm.
Place a hefty cleaver at the end of a long, stout shaft, and the leverage which the pole gives the wielder will enable him to cleave through armor.

I picked up a Kettleleader Katana and a Voulge last night for my use after I ding to 63, but I was curious what the benefits/draw-backs are of using 2hs vs. 1hs.
Your Kettleleader Katana.....I think it out DPS'd my Voulge and pretty much any other weapon I have even though it's DR may be less.
Depends on if you have lots of strength too..the Voulge has a good strength to it, but the proc on the Katana still outweighed the Voulge.

 Polearm - Wikihack - a Wikia wiki
Monsters will attempt to use polearms in the following order: halberd, bardiche, spetum, bill-guisarme, voulge, ranseur, guisarme, glaive, lucern hammer, bec-de-corbin, fauchard, partisan; and so this list is roughly from best to worst.
It also may tend to look like the glaive, but would generally have a broader blade.
In reality it was developed as a farming tool.
