MAGIC AND WEAPONS - Weapons Used by Law Enforcement

In Haven, the law enforcement is known as the Order of Ashes. For more information on the Order, visit this page of the wiki. The Order of Ashes uses a wide range of weapons, both enchanted and non-enchanted, to help in their efforts to fight the rising crime rates in the city. The following is a list that any Order agent might use:

.

Bows and Arrows

Since guns are outlawed in Haven, this is the next best projectile device, and is a common sight for Order agents to use. Bows can come in a wide range of sizes and styles, including long bow, recurve, and crossbow, but it is the arrows that are enchanted (if the Order agent prefers to use enchanted items). Some of the following are arrows that an Order agent might use:

- standard arrows with different tips based on need (standard tips, "fish hook" tips, etc.)

- poison-tipped arrows (nonlethal)

- incendiary arrows (explosive)

- negation arrows (able to temporary block the powers of the target if it makes contact)

- heat-seeking arrows (do not work on vampires)

- eagle eye arrows (allows the user to see from the arrow's point of view as it flies through the air until it makes contact)

- power extension arrows (allows the user to use the arrow as an extension of their body, giving them the ability to use their power within a four foot radius around where the arrow makes contact)

- nerve gas arrows (detonates nerve or tear gas upon contact)

- Cupid's arrow (originally started as a prank, but is now used to make the target infatuated with the user so that the target is less likely to attack - this arrow does not cause physical harm when it makes contact)

.

Swords

Swords are also very popular amongst Order agents, and can be used with or without enchantment. Swords can come in a wide range of sizes and styles, anything from scimitars to broadswords. Swords are made of special metal alloys that do not contain iron.

.

Knives and Daggers

Short blades are carried by all Order agents, regardless of whatever other weapons they prefer to use, and are made of metal alloys that do not contain iron. These blades can be enchanted, but magic is not usually wasted on them.

.

Whips

Some Order agents prefer to use whips that can be made out of leather, rope, or a woven metal alloy that does not contain iron. Whips can also be enchanted.

.

Batons and Blunt Objects

For those who patrol city streets, you might see batons used more often.

.

Restraints

The Order uses special restraints when they take down perpetrators that negate the abilities of the person wearing them. These restraints integrate new technology with old magic, as the base for them is the petrified wood of a special tree only found in Underhill. New technology has captured this ancient magic and uses it to assist in arrests of supernatural kind.

Everything Else

There are a dozen different kinds of weapons that your character can use that aren't listed here. These are just some of the more common ones and give you an idea of what you might find in Haven.
