Question 2 - Do you think the name Flaxen Thistle is better than Gunnabatan? 1:Yeah, scottish weaponry in Ye Olde days was REALLY heavy, i know this because i'm taking history in school

2:A lot better. Not much heavier than any other european culture, to my knowledge at least. People often overestimate the actual mass of historical weapon because they LOOK big.

However, weight is not the primary factor in determining if a weapon needs an inactive form; it's bulk. A light but bulky weapon will require an alternative form when not in use while a heavy but compact one will not.
