Stundestadt Alley Defender - A simple pistol which is decently accurate. It can only fire one bullet at a time. The gun is quite plane but features a wolf's head carved into the butt. Normally the weapon is wielded by citizens who need to defend themselves in a pinch when ambushed in a dark alley. It is common to keep this weapon tucked inside of a jacket before drawing it to fire a bullet, usually to scare off an attacker. It's quite weak and designed for killing humans not monsters.
Basket Hilted Dragon - This weapon is considered a beauty within Menes-heit, a blunderbuss in the for of a handgun with a basket hilt to protect the wielder's hand. While it has a lot of kickback it's power is great, reloading can take some time. Along the bottom and top of this gun are steel teeth which can be used to cut two inches into flesh, as well as bite onto weapons and hold them in place. The butt of this dragon is made of steel and it can be used as a bone shattering hammer when held properly. Dragons Guns are a rare sight in this world and almost exclusively are made in Stundestadt where they are popular amongst criminals. The Basket Hilted Dragon is a weapon that was designed for hunting in urban environments.
Bloodthirster - It is said this weapon was first designed by an eccentric duelist in the marshes of Menes-heit. This weapon does not fire normal bullets and is in fact incapable of doing so. Instead when blood enters the barrel of this gun it is crystallized and then may be fired by pulling back the hammer with one's thumb and pulling the trigger. Bloodthirster does not fire powerful rounds, in fact they are quite weak. Instead when in close proximity to an opponent the weapon can be fuelled entirely by their blood. Every time blood fills the barrel it is reloaded and can fire again. As well one may use their own blood to fuel it. The Bloodthirster has a steel barrel with inscriptions on the side of serpents. The butt of the gun is made of a red processed wood while the trigger is made of silver.
Crimson Dancers - Crimson Dancers are a type of weapon that are considered bizarre even amongst Vampires. While most weapons are held in the hand Crimson Dancers are a pair of red sabatons. They are highly flexible allowing for graceful if loud movement. These plate boots are sharpened along the sides to a fine point turning one's feet into a dagger-like weapon. At the toes is a blade that can extend out to the length of a knife and can retract when running or climbing. Along the back of the ankle vertically as well is a spine like blade with a hook at the bottom which can be used to grapple a target with the legs and hold on while attacking them with the other leg or arms. To Vampires this weapon is considered a thing of beauty, in fact some use it in courting during group hunts to attract lovers interested in such fine movements. To the average Menes-heitian it is merely another disgusting and unholy weapon of the hunters known for its viscera and keen edges.
Death's Hands - Another strange weapon, Death's Hands are two daggers with one being shorter than the other. They can be fixed together at the base of the grip creating an edged boomerang which will return to the thrower. Another way this weapon can work is to be slid into place side by side creating one dagger with two blades, in between which other weapons can be trapped. When in this form the weapons can split at the blade and act like scissors or suddenly pull apart to return to being two daggers. These weapons are called Death's Hands due to them resembling a minute and hour hand on a clock. In some artists' paintings death is represented by a Vampire wielding these weapons holding them over the head of the recently deceased. For an unknown reason there are small grooves along the blade that blood easily clings to, when sated with blood these blades will give off a red glow and vibrate improving their cutting power.
Destroyer - Destroyers are weapons so heavy that only a Vampire can practically use one in combat. These long hammers have metal shafts that are thick allowing for the support of the large stone hammer head. When transforming this weapon comes apart revealing a spear within the hammer head that has a leaf blade for thrusting and cutting made of silver. When separated the hammer head can be left on the ground or due to the pole's thickness, a powerful Vampire can stick their hand into the head's hole. Thus with one hand they may wield a long spear while with the other using their fist as a sledgehammer. Destroyers are so powerful that Vampires sometimes use them to break through walls or iron gates while giving chase. King Oebrin was famously executed by a Destroyer during a parade by a Vampire who believed him to be a beast. There were no remains left of Oebrin only a pulpy pink mess and a destroyed carriage. Shockingly the Vampire escaped and was never found.
Fire Lance - Long ago the mysterious Logan a known magician was hired by the King of Stundestadt, King Seethe. King Seethe became enamored with Logan's wondrous tricks that used flames to dazzle guests. When asked of his secret Logan refused to tell, being a magician he couldn't. Even the King's torturers and hangman could not get a word out of Logan. What they did discover amongst his possessions was a mysterious black powders which the King's alchemists did their best to reproduce. Immediately it was used for warfare, but before guns became commonplace it was instead used in the making of Fire Lances. These weapons were long two handed lances for use on foot or horseback with a steel tip and a pipe just beneath. With the quick flick of the wrist at any point this weapon can unleash a spray of fire but takes time to reload. It may be used with one or two hands. The lance's pole is made of a processed wood that is as black as soot which has high resistance to fire.
Guillotine Grinder - One of the larger Vampire weapons, this large two handed axe has a broad head and a shaft made of an incredibly flexible wood. Because of the flexibility of the wood this weapon easily bends, to its advantage. A hunter may bend the weapon almost like a string does a bow, when releasing the built up energy the axe head will snap forward or backwards suddenly smashing into whatever is in the way heavily improving its cutting and crushing power. A common tactic for Vampires to use with this weapon is to drag the head along the ground besides them bending the weapon. When releasing the power reserved it will swing upwards like an uppercut while also flinging up a vast amount of sparks from dragging on stone. Children are often warned that it is time to head inside at night by the sound of Vampires dragging grinders through the streets looking for prey. The back of this axe's head is blunt and can be used as a hammer.
Hook Gun - The hook gun is one of the most relatively simple firearms used by Vampires. This pistol can be loaded with three bullets and fire three times before it must be reloaded. Reloading it is simple enough, but it does not have much firepower to it. Instead this is a gun that is supposed to be used in an odd way, at point blank. By using the hook just below the barrel a Vampire can hang from a beast or even pull back steel armor. Thus this weapon can be used for climbing or staying in close quarters while firing bullets directly into the vitals of a foe. It only requires one hand to use and is often paired with another one handed weapon. Famously the Vampire Gwendol climbed the back of a massive werewolf using two hook guns before planting a hook in each of its ears and firing six rounds into its eyes.
Vampire's Harp - A strange weapon that is hard to notice at first glance, the Vampire's Harp appears like a simple wire. This long wire can move silently through the air and is hard to detect without light shining directly upon it. When there is no slack in the wire it can effectively be used to cut or saw through flesh. The wire is so sharp that when set up as a trap unsuspecting prey can run through it only to discover too late the wire cut clean through their neck decapitating them. A weapon of grace, it is also used by the Vampires to entertain themselves on sorrowful nights beneath the moon. When wrapped about the hand a skilled Vampire can pluck the strings and play music that is chilling to a normal human but welcome to these heretical fiends.
Rifle Spade - Simple enough, this weapon appears to be a spade with a long pole. However with a twist of the shaft the serrated shovel head will split down the middle and open up turning the weapon into a pickaxe. Where the shovel head was will then rest the end of a gun barrel. A Rifle Spade can fire high power shots that can travel a great distance though outside of medium or short range it is highly inaccurate. Vampires of the grave favor this weapon as it can quickly turn from a tool into a weapon for fighting being buried yet not quite dead. When functioning as a spade it can also work as an axe due to the sharp edges. It does not take long to reload this weapon and on its butt is an iron spike.
Shining Morning Star - A weapon so dangerous it is often associated with demons, the Shining Morning Star is a weapon that is capable of killing the wielder if used improperly. To the untrained eye it would appear as a normal spiked round headed mace, but to a Vampire it is much more. At any time the mace head may be fired out of the steel pole a foot and a half before it will be anchored by the chain holding the weapon together. Rather suddenly it can go from a mace to a ball and chain mace. The head of this weapon can rocket out with such force that it can punch holes in bodies or knock off human heads in a single blow. A rather famous painting depicts a duel between Vampires in which one has blown off the head of the other Vampire with such a weapon. In the aftermath of the battle she stands basking beneath the fountain of his crimson life force, with her mouth open.
Silver Saw-Tooth Sword - A long blade made of silver that can be held in one or two hands. this longsword's pommel features a twisted head of a wolf visibly in pain with its mouth open. The crossguard ends in spikes while the grip is made of roughly tied cloth soaked in blood. While to many this would look like an ordinary longsword this weapon listens to the command of a Vampire and can transform. When transformed the long blade becomes serrated like a saw and can more easily cut through flesh while ripping it apart causing as much damage as possible. As well a skilled wielder can hold this weapon by the blade and use it as a spiked hammer. It is said that silver swords are holy weapons, and yet a monster such as a Vampire can wield them.
Vampire Killer - The Vampire Killer is a weapon with a very innocent appearance. Normally it appears as a silver can with a wolf's head handle. Along the bottom are grooves leading to the spike at its point, at the midsection are etchings that draw the flow of blood should the cane be splashed towards the hands of the wielder. Normally it can be used as a cane for walking or beating a foe. When transformed the bulk of the cane detaches creating a large chain-whip made of segmented blades. It is as if a whip and a sword were made one and when the wielder wishes it can be completely straightened into a serrated sword. Momentum is this weapons greatest ally, as long as it is moving it can keep up an assault easily while disorienting a foe. When it passes through flesh the Vampire Killer causes a great deal of damage, ripping and tearing while drawing as much blood as possible. Some Vampires like to use this weapon to make music from the cries of the beasts they strike, some refer to it as a symphony of the night. This weapon is called Vampire Killer since it was originally designed to be used for killing Vampires. It is still quite adept at this task, but ironically it is most often wielded by them as well.
Lightning Rod - An Olivian invention. The Lightning Rod gather energy through friction. By dragging the metal pole along the ground or against anything it begins to build up electricity. This weapon must be handled with care, for the wielder can easily be electrocuted. At the top and bottom of the weapon are points that can pierce flesh and even some armors. By quickly twisting the pole in hand, the wielder discharges the built up electricity into whatever one of the points of the weapon is in contact with. This weapon can also be used to redirect electricity, or as a regular lightning rod.
Blunder Hammer - This weapon is a combination gun and hammer. This is made by crafting a thick blunderbuss with a gun butt that is dense and rounded. The weapon can be wielded by the barrel and swung as a hammer, and may be fired from either the hammer or rifle position thanks to multiple triggers. It fires a spray of pellets that at short range deal massive amounts of damage, but quickly drop off in power the further they are from the target when fired. This weapon can also be caused to explode at the butt so that it will detonate when striking causing extra damage, though this slightly damages the weapon.
Ketto Blade - A weapon made originally on a southeastern island. These swords were known in their language as katana. The blades were very fine and sharp with a slight curve caused by the forging process. By using the much purer ore of the north to create this fusion of south and northern weaponry, a deadlier weapon was crafted. The Ketto Blade is nimble, lightning quick, long, but not good against armor or scales. This weapon can absorb blood and release it as a short range cutting wave, the blood may come from any source.
Reaper Blade - This weapon comes in two components. It has a long staff that is curved at the head made of wood that is very flexible. The other part is a scimitar, a curved blade. The hilt of the scimitar can meld with the staff forming it into a large scythe. In the fields this was originally a tool of agriculture, now it has been formed into a beheading weapon known for creating fountains of blood out of the necks of unsuspecting foes.
Mine Defender - Even in the mines Vampires could be found. They were forced to perform manual labor should they fail to hunt. These workers would carry the Mine Defender, a pickaxe that splits at the head forming into a crossbow that fires silver stakes. It is excellent against armor and thick hides but can get stuck in bodies easily.
Vampire’s Talon - The famed weapon of the Count’s Hunters. These beings would go on legendary hunts chasing down mythical creatures. They wielded these combination bows and claws, that could shift between two dual curved swords and the form of a bow. There was believed to be some magic involved, as instead of firing true arrows the weapon fires spikes of hardened blood that can come from any source.
