The First Blade: Balaraw - Winged Dagger

I realize I haven't been explicit about it on here yet (mostly because I'm not the best at keeping all my social media profiles up to date), but I am involved in the development of a Tabletop Roleplaying Game It's called Gubat Banwa- a TTRPG based around tactical grid combat, contemplative war drama, and high-flying martial arts, all of which taking place in an unapologetically Southeast Asian-inspired fantasy setting, developed by @makapatag with art direction by @villain-returns. Initially I developed the script that is used in the gamebook and diegetically in the setting- called Kasuratan- but I'll talk about that elsewhere.

With the Kickstarter launch imminent, I thought I'd do a bunch of Twitter X threads on a bunch of weapons I've drawn for the game counting down the final week before the launch. Then I thought: "Why aren't I posting these on tumblr also, at least I wouldn't lose my mind over character counts over here"- so here we are. These were supposed to be posted as Swordtember drawings, but then the KS launch got moved to October. Most of these blades are of Philippine make, since that is where my knowledge-base is and what I'm comfortable enough to share knowledge about. I thought it'd be nice to share a bit of blade knowledge from some of the cultures that inspired the setting. Without further ado, let us begin with the BALARAW.

Also known as a "winged dagger", it is characterized by its unique shape, consisting of a short leaf-shaped blade driven with the tang out into a hilt with two distinct protrusions, creating three prongs on the back with the tang included.

(Photos from an exhibit at The Met)

They may be held at the hilt like a regular knife, or they may be held in a manner not too dissimilar from how our neighbors in Southeast Asia hold keris. One may imagine it like a "push dagger" for lack of other reference points. It might be likened to the katar as well, in some sense.

(Sketches by the Gubat Banwa Art Director himself) Nowadays, the blade is frequently attributed to the People of the Upstream- the Mandaya group of peoples- though they would have seen much wider use in their day, likely also spanning across what is now the Visayas region of the Philippines.

(Modern rendition by Panday Keiven Tolentino of Itak Mindoro, Photo by Ramon H. Bathan) Something I've noticed from looking at Philippine blades all the time is that symmetrical, double-edged blades like these are rare, here. Blades that lend themselves more to stabbing than anything else aren't very prevalent either, and blades that do not- at first glance- appear to be made with tool use/foliage clearing/farmwork in mind don't make up the majority of specimens. The balaraw is unique in several different respects, and any self-respecting warrior Kadungganan of Gubat Banwa's Sword Isles would do well to mind its bite. The weapon makes an appearance in Gubat Banwa in the hands of the Beast Hunter- one of the many Disciplines ("character classes") whose techniques your character can learn in-game.

The Gubat Banwa Kickstarter launches in 7 days! Check it out here:

We'd appreciate any and all help in getting the word out. Support an independent TTRPG made by a team from the global south, looking to make waves through a fantasy setting where the Southeast Asian inspirations takes center stage!

So BG3 is currently holding a chokehold on me and I can't help but think of hetasean dnd au. I'll try to limit this to PHB and 5e for simplicity reasons. also sorry I'm not a seasoned DND player at all i played one casual campaign but only actually understood the mechanics after playing bg3 LOL im a highly kinetic-visual person

Vietnam: Any tanky build will do as such I was thinking an atheist paladin would be funny lol. She is definitely the one with the most hands-on experience in battle. Proficient with polearms and shields. I see her more leaning towards martial classes, so like barbarian or fighter. probably fighter. Looks Lawful but actually Chaotic. Hmm... maybe Neutral Good?

Thailand: Monk for the muay thai coolness. Not sure about his subclass tho... most of them don't sound lethal and brutal enough. Definitely Lawful Evil.

Malaysia: At first I was thinking of a gunslinger build (just so I can give him a loooooong boy ala Malacca era) but the fighter subclass, because he doesn't come off as the artificer type to me. Either that or barbarian for the tiger rage. Now him being a druid would allow him to actually turn into a tiger, but honestly Mal as a character doesn't seem so druid-y to me--Oh wait. he skips meetings to catch sea creatures and talks about social harmony... maybe he could be a druid. Chaotic Good.

Singapore: Any class that relies on high INT, like wizard . Ok I said I'd limit to PHB but war magic is so him. The other schools just doesn't scream poisoned shrimp enough for me. Lawful Neutral.

Indonesia: At first I was thinking of cleric to match his worldflags counterpart but Indo as a warlock is a delicious thought. Besides, Pact of Talisman mechanic sounds like typical indo black magic shenanigans. Of course the talisman must be a haunted ornate keris. Then later another idea came: what if he's a multiclass bard-monk?? The mechanics match up with pesilat Betawi as it's tradition to roast your opp with pantun (type of Malay poem) before commencing the beating. So like, Vicious Mockery -> Flurry of Blows . but if Thai is already a monk, Indo will have to relinquish that role for diversity reasons. I'm on the fence between True Neutral and Chaotic Neutral.

Philippines: Him being a bard is a no-brainer because filipinos and singing!!11!!! also after playing a bard, there seem to be more of roasting a dude than singing But hear me out: deadly dex-based fighter. Or since he already has Pien, why not a beast master ranger? If we really need to play that Catholic Trauma™ then Piri could be a cleric. never paladin tho. Two-weapon proficiency, twin blades because he's a gemini. Same alignment as Indo awww twinning!!! but leaning more on chaotic

this is still a brainstorming post maaaaybe I'll draw their designs some day...... what do y'all think???? I'd like to hear some suggestions 🙌

I started playing D&D with a friend a little over a year ago, and one of the things that we wanted to do with the campaign was to be able to see both our cultures and other cultures represented in the fantasy world that we would be playing in, because, frankly, a lot of the fantasy media we grew up with was pretty dang white. I’ve ended up pulling parts of Vietnamese culture, because I’m Vietnamese, he’s pulled from his culture, and that’s been really fun to see.

Anyway, my character, Keri, is a dwarf, and is a character I had previously played in a campaign with mostly white friends, where we weren’t thinking about including our cultures in this way. And as I was doing some prep and thinking about aspects of dwarven culture for this current campaign, I decided that instead of basing the dwarven writing system on runes, which is what Tolkien's and D&D's dwarven writing system is based on, dwarves in this setting would have a writing system inspired by cuneiform, which is a writing system from ancient Mesopotamia.

[image description: A chart which shows 30 Anglo-Saxon "futhorc" runes. It shows their names, transliteration characters, and the meanings of their names.]

[image description: a Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform syllabary, used by early Akkadian rulers. It is a grid that has English letters on the top and left axis and shows the corresponding cuneiform characters]

I liked the visual similarities—both runes and cuneiform have very geometric, angular characters; both are written on materials that have been preserved really well—but then I wanted to make a reference sheet for myself, so I didn't have to keep on going to D&D Beyond to look up information. So I went on Canva and looked for a sufficiently angular and blocky font until I found a font called Obra Letra and made my reference sheet.

[image description: The first page of my reference sheet. It has brown angular text on a parchment background. The text has information from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything about the Artficer D&D class]

And then I got annoyed with Canva, switched to the Affinity suite of design programs, and Googled Obra Letra to see if I would be able to buy the font. And then I found out that it was inspired by vintage Filipino typography! Which is super cool!

[image description: Text over an image of a bay in the Philippines. The text reads "Obra Letra Display Typeface by Lorenzo Martinez; a modern take on filipino vintage typography"]

And I currently have this document of of spells that my character can pick from, but I've been debating whether or not I use Obra Letra as the only font for all of it, or if I should find a different one for the body text and just use Obra Letra as like the font for like the spell names and stuff.

[image description: The first page of my spell description document. There is brown angular text over a parchment background. The text includes the spell information for the spells "Prestidigitation" and "Mage Hand"]

So I Googled Filipino inspired fonts, just going off of the description of Obra Letra, and found an article from Canva of Filipino inspired fonts! And then I was like, “Well, these are all like, display fonts and not quite what I'm looking for…What if I google Vietnamese inspired fonts!�� And I found a website called vietnamesetypography.com that lists recommendations for fonts that can accommodate all of the tonal markings that Vietnamese has as well as resources for designing fonts with those markings in mind and a brief history of writing in Vietnam! Which is so cool!!

There’s probably a deeper conversation about Asian diaspora and being a second gen immigrant engaging with my family’s culture to be had here, but I’m just so dang excited that:

1. There’s no “right”way to worldbuild. Tolkien was a language nerd, so he built Middle Earth and all the cultures within to house the conlangs he was making. If you happen to be stuck with worldbuilding, start from the place that makes you excited to go down Wikipedia rabbit holes. I love calligraphy and typography, so that’s where I started.

2. That what you, or I create, or anyone creates will always have a part of them in it. And that when you’re able to bring all of yourself—your culture, your experience, your interests—what you create becomes even richer

kuya autumnbox, how do i learn tagalog? i feel like im the only filo writer on here that can’t speak it ;(((

also, jo yuri SUB noona fic?? 👀

SUB NOONA HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT JADFJKSFGJKSFHFJHKSDJFH

box language learning advice below :DDDD

I recommend immersing! if you're not in a place that you can regularly hear and speak in Tagalog then watching TV, listening to music, and reading can be the next best thing <3

As far as I can remember, Duolingo also has an English to Filipino course you can try out, though you can go about half into the course before it stops being conversational :))))

Also the Philippines thread under Gen 1 in The Bunker is open we sometimes talk Tagalog in there lol

anyway keri lang yan teh! magagamay mo rin yan onting tyaga lang hehe

TWICE 5th World Tour: Day 2 in Melbourne

Finally, napanood ko na ang TWICE live!!!! I didn't have the chance to watch them in the Philippines way back 2019 because naubusan kami ng ticket. Akalain mo nga naman, dito ko pala sila mapapanood sa AU. Super saya talaga pag kpop concert, tapos main group stan ko pa 🥹 Enjoy na enjoy ako although iba pa rin talaga pag sa PH, mas maingay for sure at walang tigil na sigaw. Medyo kulang din na hindi ko sila narinig mag salita ng Filipino hahaha. Sumakit lalamunan ko from all those screams I did yesterday, di na din ako nahiya sa katabi ko kahit ang ingay ko habang nag vvideo siya haha.

Masasabi ko lang ang ganda at sexy talaga nila. Nakakabaliw e, inggit din sa mga nasa malapit sa stage pero keri lang, kuntento na ko sa experience ko yesterday. Meron gift na tote bag and scarf, may VIP landyard din for souvenir!

Sad lang today dahil back to reality. Kakamiss yung moment nung concert na walang ibang problema iniisip dahil nag-eenjoy lang nung moment na yun.

Indonesia, Australia hold largest joint drill, Chinese military conducts sea and air patrol around shoal

The Asia-Pacific region kicked off a raft of military exercises on Wednesday amid maritime tensions.

Indonesia, Australia in joint drills after “historic” defence pact

More than 2,000 Indonesian and Australian troops held a joint military exercise on Wednesday after the allies signed a new defence agreement pledging closer co-operation to combat security threats in the Asia-Pacific region.

The two countries are seeking to strengthen security ties amid heightened tensions in the region, including the South China Sea, where several nations claim sovereignty over disputed islands and waterways.

The four-day exercise, called Keris Woomera on the main Indonesian island of Java, includes air, land, sea and cyber exercises, which Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles called “the largest exercise Australia will conduct outside of its home country this year.”

On Wednesday, the two forces conducted an amphibious landing on a beach on the eastern Java island, the Australian Embassy in Jakarta said in a statement.

The live-fire exercise involved tanks, ships, fighter jets, landing craft, attack helicopters and about 2,000 troops, the statement said.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto called the new security agreement signed in August a “historic milestone” in relations between the two countries. It includes provisions for joint exercises and troop deployments in each country.

China holds joint drills amid escalating maritime tensions with the Philippines

China on Wednesday held joint military drills amid escalating maritime disputes with the Philippines, state media reported.

The People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Southern Theatre Command conducted naval and air patrols around Scarborough Shoal, known as Huangyan Island in China and Panatag Shoal in the Philippines. The PLA said:

This is a regular lawful patrol and alert activity.

Both Beijing and Manila claim sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal.

The latest drills come after Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last Friday signed into law the Philippine Maritime Zones Act and the Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act targeting the disputed South China Sea. Manila calls part of the vast body of water the West Philippine Sea.

Beijing has protested, summoned the Philippine ambassador and dismissed the laws as a “violation” of China’s territorial sovereignty.

Manila argues the laws are aimed at strengthening Manila’s rights and responsibilities in its maritime zones, which it calls the West Philippine Sea. The Philippines and China have overlapping claims to the warm waters of this resource-rich vast body of water.

Traditional dance of Maguindanaon

Sagayan is the true and ancient dance that predates Islam and Christianity of Maguindanaon people from Cotabato, Mindanao, Philipppines. It is performed as a ritual for healing called ipat or as a festive dance for wedding, enthronement, and other festive celebrations.

Maguindanao people

The Maguindanaon people are an Austronesian ethnic group from the Philippines. The Maguindanaon are part of wider political identity of Muslims known as Moro, who constitute the third largest ethnic group of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan. The Maguindanaons constitute the ninth largest Filipino ethnic group and are known for being distinguished in the realm of visual art. They have been renowned as metalworkers, producing the wavy-bladed keris ceremonial swords and other weapons, as well as gongs. The Maguindanaons historically had an independent sultanate known as the Sultanate of Maguindanao which comprises modern day Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region and Soccsksargen. The name "Maguindanao/Magindanaw" itself was corrupted by Spanish sources into "Mindanao", which became the name for the entire island of Mindanao.

The word Maguindanao or Magindanaw means "people of the flood plains", from the word Magi'inged that means "people or citizen" and danaw that means "lake or marsh". Thus Maguindanao or Magindanaw can also be translated as "people of the lake", identical to their close neighbors, the Maranao and Iranun. These three groups speak related languages belonging to the Danao language family.

Maguindanaon are known for their distinguished in the realm of visual art. Historically, they have been renowned as metalworkers, producing the wavy-bladed keris ceremonial swords and other weapons, as well as gongs.

If i'll rank them from the most difficult to least RFBT or Law and Advance Acctg would prolly be on top. 👀 FAR will consume huge amount of time so oras yung magiging kalaban. TAX will be manageable if you mastered Banggawan's book, Philippine tax law and the tax rates. If sa Auditing maraming theories, keri basta wag lang comprehensive problems.

Week 930: “Magical Object ” is this week’s theme for #Sketchblog www.sketchplease.com @the_original_sketch_please “A keris/kris is a double-edged asymmetrical dagger originating in Java. It is both a weapon and a ritual object loaded with spiritual significance. Keris are also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and the Philippines where it is known as kalis, with sword variants.” #artistsoninstagram #procreate #procreateapp #procreateartist #digitalillustration #thearchangelo #archangelocrelencia #photonnmo #photon_nmo #procreateart #procreate #procreateapp #magicalobject #keris #kris #krissword #kerissword https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAT4zzvrUa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[goforeignerphilippines-blog]

The kris or keris is an indigenous asymmetric dagger is the most famous Moro (Mindanao Philippines) weapon. The variations are found in every Moro tribe and was a key symbol of the status and position of a man in the Moorish society as well as being a powerful talisman. The blades of Kris are broad at the base, double-edged, and can be moved, half-straight in half straight or straight (the straight blades were more practical in combat). The older kris had less waves and the waves were deeper and wider. Over time the waves have become less deep, narrower and more numerous and have therefore required greater skill to prevent the blade from bouncing or being stuck in an enemy's body. The greater number of waves meant that the kris was more powerful in talismanic power. Sometimes the incisions (often filled with brass or silver inlays) are on the blade in vegetable motifs (vines, leaves, etc.) or in Arabic characters. Many kris blades are forged with fullers. The kris del Moro are cutting and cutting the swords against the stabbing Kererists of the Malaysians and Indonesians. Kris ranges from 45 to 65 centimeters (from 18 to 26 inches) in length. The oldest kris before the nineteenth century tended to be smaller. Laminated steel models are sometimes evident. In front of the hook as a fretwork on the blade guard there is an elephant-shaped cavity, an eagle or the mouth of a naga (a mythical snake).

The krises blows are straight or slightly curved. Commonly the pommel is in the shape of a horse's hoof, or a stylized cockatoo head with beak and crest. Usually the knob is made of hardwood briar with the handle wrapped in lacquered fiber. The upper class kris knobs are often made of ivory, silver, brass or other exotic materials with handles wrapped in chiselled silver or swassa bands (copper-gold alloy) or braided wire. Big extravagant cockatoo knobs appeared towards the end of the 19th century and are called junggayan. The knobs before the nineteenth century were very small.

The shears in Moro kris were made of hard durum wheat such as mahogany, teak and narra, tied together with strips of rattan or metal. Sometimes the cross is separated from the bottom, but more often they are carved together. Around the middle of the 20th century, the mother of pearl was introduced into the work of the sheath and kris knobs. The sheaths of the nobility are bound with bands of pure or chiselled silver, brass or swassa instead of rattan ligatures. Some nobility sheaths even have ivory or horn sleepers. Moro Kris has evolved from use in combat. The double-edged blade is an advantage where there are numerous opponents, the blade can be used to cut in an upward stroke. A contrasting single edge blade should be rotated in the opposite direction to make the same cut.

Moro kris is much appreciated by the inhabitants of Mindanao and Sulu. It is used as a symbol of authority and prestige. The Moro Kris keris. The weapon Sandokan the Tiger of the Philippines is Malaysia                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Ang kris o keris ay isang katutubong asymmetric dagger ay ang pinaka sikat na Moro weapon (MIndanao Filipino). Ang mga pagkakaiba-iba ay matatagpuan sa bawat tribo ng Moro at isang mahalagang simbolo ng katayuan at posisyon ng isang tao sa Moorish na lipunan pati na rin ang pagiging isang malakas na anting-anting. Ang mga blades ni Kris ay malawak sa base, double-edged, at maaaring ilipat, kalahati tuwid sa kalahati tuwid o tuwid (ang tuwid blades ay mas praktikal sa labanan). Ang mas lumang kris ay may mas kaunting alon at ang mga alon ay mas malalim at mas malawak. Sa paglipas ng panahon ang mga alon ay naging mas malalim, mas makitid at mas maraming at samakatuwid ay nangangailangan ng mas higit na kasanayan upang maiwasan ang talim mula sa nagba-bounce o natigil sa katawan ng kaaway. Ang mas malaking bilang ng mga alon ay nangangahulugan na ang kris ay mas malakas sa talismanikong kapangyarihan. Kung minsan ang mga incisions (kadalasang pinuno ng tanso o pilak inlays) ay nasa talim sa motifs ng gulay (puno ng ubas, dahon, atbp.) O sa mga character na Arabic. Maraming mga kris na blades ang pinalitan ng mga fuller. Ang kris del Moro ay pinutol at pinutol ang mga tabak laban sa mga stabbing Kererists ng mga Malaysians at Indonesians. Ang Kris ay umabot sa 45 hanggang 65 sentimetro (mula 18 hanggang 26 pulgada) ang haba. Ang pinakalumang kris bago ang ikalabing siyam na siglo ay mas maliit. Kung minsan ang mga modelo ng laminated steel ay maliwanag. Sa harap ng kawit bilang isang fretwork sa talim ng bantay ay may hugis ng hugis ng elepante, isang agila o ang bibig ng isang naga (isang gawa-gawang ahas). Ang mga krises blows ay tuwid o bahagyang hubog. Karaniwan ang pommel ay nasa hugis ng kuko ng isang kabayo, o isang inilarawan sa pangkinaugalian na ulo ng cockatoo na may tuka at tagaytay. Karaniwan ang hawakan ng pinto ay gawa sa matigas na kahoy briar na may hawak na nakabalot sa lacquered fiber. Ang mga hugis ng kris sa itaas ay kadalasang gawa sa garing, pilak, tanso o iba pang kakaibang materyales na may mga hawak na nakabalot sa mga pilak na pilak o swassa (tanso-ginto na haluang metal) o tinirintas na kawad. Ang malaking maluho na mga taluktok ng cockatoo ay lumitaw patungo sa katapusan ng ika-19 siglo at tinatawag na junggayan. Ang mga hawla bago ang ikalabing siyam na siglo ay napakaliit.Ang mga gunting sa Moro kris na ginawa ng matapang na trigo na durum tulad ng mahogany, teak at narra, na isinama kasama ng mga piraso ng sulihiya o metal. Minsan ang krus ay nahiwalay mula sa ibaba, ngunit mas madalas ang mga ito ay inukit magkasama. Sa gitna ng kalagitnaan ng ika-20 siglo, ang ina ng perlas ay ipinakilala sa gawain ng upak at kris na mga tusok. Ang mga kaluban ng mga maharlika ay nakagapos sa mga banda ng purong o chiselled pilak, tanso o swassa sa halip ng mga rattan ligatures. Ang ilang mahahalagang pang-aapi ay may mga yari sa ivory o sungay. Ang Moro Kris ay nagbago mula sa paggamit sa labanan. Ang dobleng talim ay isang kalamangan kung saan maraming mga kalaban, ang talim ay maaaring magamit upang mabawasan ang isang paitaas na stroke. Ang isang contrasting single blade talim ay dapat na pinaikot sa kabaligtaran direksyon upang gawin ang parehong hiwa.Ang Moro kris ay pinahahalagahan ng mga naninirahan sa Mindanao at Sulu. Ginagamit ito bilang simbolo ng awtoridad at prestihiyo.  Ang Moro Kris keris. Ang armas Sandokanang Tigre, ng Pilipinas ay Malaysia                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Il  kris o keris è un pugnale asimmetrico indigeno  è l'arma Moro (MIndanao filippine ) più famosa. Le variazioni si trovano in ogni tribù Moro ed era un simbolo chiave dello status e della posizione di un uomo nella società moro oltre ad essere un potente talismano. Le lame di Kris sono larghe alla base, a doppio taglio, e possono essere mosse, semidirette a metà dritte o dritte (le lame dritte erano più pratiche in combattimento). I kris più anziani avevano meno onde e le onde erano più profonde e più ampie. Nel corso del tempo le onde sono diventate meno profonde, più strette e più numerose e hanno quindi richiesto una maggiore abilità per evitare che la lama rimbalzasse o fosse bloccata nel corpo di un nemico. Il maggior numero di onde significava che il kris era più potente in potenza talismanica. Talvolta le incisioni (spesso riempite con intarsi in ottone o argento) si trovano sulla lama in motivi vegetali (viti, foglie, ecc.) O in caratteri arabi. Molte lame kris sono forgiate con fullers. I kris del Moro stanno tagliando e tagliando le spade contro i keristi pugnalanti dei malesi e degli indonesiani. Kris varia da 45 a 65 centimetri (da 18 a 26 pollici) di lunghezza. I kris più antichi prima del diciannovesimo secolo tendevano ad essere più piccoli. I modelli in acciaio laminato sono talvolta evidenti. Di fronte al gancio come traforo sulla guardia della lama c'è una cavità a forma di elefante, aquila o bocca di un naga (un serpente mitico). I colpi di krises sono dritti o leggermente curvi. Comunemente il pomo è a forma di zoccolo di cavallo, o una testa di cacatua stilizzata con becco e cresta. Solitamente il pomello è realizzato in radica di legno duro con l'impugnatura avvolta in fibra laccata. I pomelli kris di classe superiore sono spesso fatti di avorio, argento, ottone o altri materiali esotici con manici avvolti in fasce cesellate di argento o di swassa (lega di rame-oro) o filo intrecciato. Grandi pomelli di cacatua stravaganti apparvero verso la fine del 19 ° secolo e sono chiamati junggayan. I pomelli prima del diciannovesimo secolo erano molto piccoli.I foderi in Moro kris erano fatti di legni duri di grano duro come mogano, teak e narra, legati insieme con strisce di rattan o metallo. A volte la croce è separata dal fondo, ma più spesso sono scolpite insieme. Intorno alla metà del 20 ° secolo, la madreperla fu introdotta nel lavoro del fodero e dei pomelli kris. I foderi della nobiltà sono legati con bande di argento puro o cesellato, ottone o swassa invece di legature in rattan. Alcuni foderi di nobiltà hanno persino traversine in avorio o corno.
