Labrys

"Only lead was a young boy on his bike who saw a big guy in a long coat walking through the woods with, and I quote, "A really big-ass axe.""

- Drew Wu

A Labrys (LAY-briss; from Greek, likely Lydian origin, lábrys) is a symmetric double-headed, two-handed axe that is typically used by Leporem Venators when severing the foot of a Willahara. It is also used as a melee weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

Description
While the double-headed blades of the Labrys can inflict lethal damage, the blunt end of the handle can also be used to injure and subdue a target. Like most bladed weapons, the sharpness and quality of the axe blades has to be periodically maintained.

After centuries of being victimized by the Leporem Venator, for Willaharas, this weapon has become symbolic of these hunters, as Peter Bennett immediately recognized what Nigel Edmund was when he shined his flashlight on the Labrys he was carrying.
