A well-balanced, hand-forged longsword tempered in resinous taiga pine oil; reliable and holds an edge in bitter cold.

Atk Edges resist becoming brittle in cold; +1 to attack in cold weather regions (roleplayed as environmental bonus).

A stout hammer with a broad poll for crushing and a long haft to keep hands away from cold steel. Head blood-quenched and scaled for toughness.

On a critical strike, may dent but not shatter bone easily (narrative; no mechanical bonus).

Small, well-headed throwing axes with reinforced poll; made for hunters who expect to retrieve them from snow.

Blades have painted white tips to aid recovery in snow.

A short dagger quenched in the forge cold water and finished with an antler pommel — favored for skinning game and quiet fighting.

Antler pommel can be carved as a keepsake; blade keeps a fine edge on hide.

Long hafted spear with an iron head and antler reinforcement; throws or thrusts well in deep snow.

Shaft carved with tally marks of past hunts (cosmetic).

A compact net with small iron weights well-sewn into the rim; used to catch birds or small game on the taiga.

Entangles small creatures; stored in a waterproof bag.
Armor5

Stitched from thick winter hides and riveted with iron studs. Warmer than standard studded leather and resists slashes from frozen blades.

AC +12Provides +1 comfort/resistance to cold exposure (narrative, reduces chance of weather effects).

Heavy greaves made from boiled leather reinforced with overlapping cured bear scales; favored by taiga hunters.

AC +16When making forced marches, wearer suffers -1 less fatigue (narrative).

Round wooden shield faced with iron and trimmed with insulating fur at the rim to prevent freezing hands.

AC +2Grip aided by fur; reduces chance to drop shield in icy conditions (narrative).

A chain shirt treated with pitch and fur backing to keep snow and slush from chilling the wearer and to reduce rust.

AC +13Slight resistance to rusting; requires less maintenance in wet climates.

A small buckler with an insulated grip and steel rim to deflect glancing blows and cold bites.

AC +1Grip prevents freeze-locked handle; narrative advantage in icy grapples.
Miscellaneous7

A specialized poker and tongs set for tending peat and coal fires used in cold climate forges.

Useful for any smith; grants a modest +1 efficiency in forge repair jobs (narrative).

Dense oilstone treated to resist freezing; essential for field repairs.

Retains grind quality in cold weather longer than common stones.

Salt-tempered nails and small brackets for repairs to sleds, boots, or armor.

Iron runners, rivets, and pitch to refit a small sled so it glides on crusted snow.

Small barbed arrowheads blackened to reduce glare on snowy hills; sold in tens.

Barbed; harder to remove from hides (narrative).

A short, ceramic-coated torch soaked in pitch; lights even when smoldering under snow.

Burns longer and resists dampening; useful as a makeshift weapon.

Haldra will re-forge or upgrade a single weapon or small armor piece—sharpening, re-tempering and minor reinforcement.

On completion, Haldra may grant +1 to attack or defense at his discretion (flavor; GM adjudicates).
Potions1

A simple poultice made with pine resin and wound-cleansing herbs; eases infections and staunches bleeding.

Heal 1 HPProvides healing (narrative equivalent for generic system).
