Journal
Contrary to popular belief, a goblin is as smart as any other species. It was Bandos that instilled within them the notion that intelligence is a sin, and that demonstrating your education is something to be discouraged. As a result, goblins often go out of their way to make themselves seem less intelligent than they really are.
Hence Swingslash - the name given to this axe because of how it swings through the air, slashing anything it hits. It's so reductive and silly, it can only be an overcorrection, a desperate attempt by the creator to seem dumber than they are.
The name encourages you to ignore the curve of the blade and the sharpness of the edge, created by carefully thought-out techniques that make the weapon deadlier than those that came before. The name, so chosen by the blacksmith so none might accuse them of the crime of being smart.
