An oriental weapon conisisting of two equal lengths of wood, metal, ect. that are connected together by a ball-bearing chain or a rope/cord. Both ends of this weapon can be used as the handle.
These weapons are typically used in martial arts for forms and training purposes. They are also widely used by ninja, mostly for show.
Nunchaku in Belegarth:
Nunchaku are specifically forbidden. You can make a flail, though. In Belegarth, we don’t want anything that acts like a flail to have a core in the part that hits you. In addition, we have pretty strict rules about grabbing the striking surface of weapons. Nunchaku violate all of these rules.
In addition, from a realism standpoint, they’re impressive-looking but not particularly deadly weapons when compared with most of the stuff on the Belegarth battlefield.
