The Third Blade: Hinalung - Handheld Speartip

Five days left to go before the launch of the Gubat Banwa Kickstarter campaign! Gubat Banwa is a TTRPG that allows you to play as warrior Kadungganan in the Sword Isles, a fantasy setting as colorful and intricate as the Southeast Asian cultures from which it draws inspiration.

I've been posting the weapons I've been drawing for the game as kind of a countdown, leading up to the launch on October 10. I was planning to do this for Swordtember, but sometimes you gotta shift the goalpost a little bit. 3/7 blades down, behold the HINALUNG

This multi-purpose blade comes in a few different shapes and sizes, but in general they are symmetrical and double-edged. They don't get much longer than one's forearm, and more often than not have handles wrapped in rattan lashings.

(Blades by Tatang HImanggo and one of his students- a certain Arnold; As shared by Biboy's Sharp Edges) If I'm not mistaken, the term "hinalung" is Ifugao- referring to a certain group of indigenous peoples in the Philippine Cordilleras- though the usage of the blade itself was widespread across the mountains of north Luzon. Nowadays, it isn't just Ifugao smiths making them, and a number of contemporary smiths from across the region seem to lay claim to the blade. In any case, the blade is of the Cordilleras, unconquered by Spain.

(Blades by Ifugao Traditional Blades) One more thing of note is the open scabbard, which seems to be common among blades in that region- not just the hinalung. Some of them boast enough space for more than one blade to be sheathed, and are often sold as novelties. The first example below has a large hinalung in the middle, joined by a pair of pinahig. It can very quickly get out of hand. These X-in-1 sets are usually sold as novelties.

Now for the fun part! You may be wondering why the handle is shaped the way it is, with that triangular opening near the base of the blade? Or perhaps you read the title of this post and you already know where this is going?

They double as spearheads! The handle itself is steel folded in to create a hollow socket, allowing the hinalung to be mounted on a wooden shaft, turning it into a spear. Supposedly, this spear-form was used for hunting. You can see the hollow socket more clearly here:

(Screencap from a video by AJ Blade Reviews testing the blade as a spear; Blade by Lakay Paul Dulnuan Sr.) As mentioned previously, the Philippine Cordilleras were never conquered by Spain, and as such were able to carry their traditions with a little more ease into the present day. It is very much apparent in the blade culture. Present-day smiths in the Cordilleras still forge hinalung, some of them stating they do it in the traditional way, others admitting to hewing to more modern methods.

One of the Five Major Mahamandalas of Gubat Banwa pays homage to and gleans inspiration from living cultures like those I mentioned here. If you want to know what the first half of that sentence means, check out the game and its Kickstarter!

The Gubat Banwa Kickstarter launches in 5 days! Check it out here:

I've watched this game be started, written, and developed by like- one guy, who just managed to drum up enough interest and meet enough people willing to help shape the dream, and make it what it is today. It could not have gotten this far without all of them. Still, it remains a very small team of creators from the global south, with very limited resources. We would dearly appreciate any and all help in getting the word out about the game!

𝗞𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗸: 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮

Namanya Kastara Harsa, beberapa orang memanggilnya Asta beberapa orang lainnya memanggilnya Harsa. Namun, jangan heran kalau ada yang berteriak keras memanggilnya 'Asa' mungkin itu Mahika. Satu-satunya gadis yang dia biarkan sesuka hati memanggilnya Asa.

Mahasiswa semester akhir jurusan Sastra Jepang yang sibuk bergelut dalam dunia skripsi namun dengan kesadaran penuh menerima ajakan Mahika untuk join band bernama 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘦. Walau terbilang masih amatir dalam memainkan bass, Harsa berhasil membuktikan dirinya bisa mengimbangi permainan anggota lama 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘦.

Awalnya, Harsa hanyan ingin menghibur Mahika karena gadis itu patah hati kesekian kali dengan sang mantan. Lalu, dengan upaya yang tidak bisa dibilang mudah. Harsa secara otodidak mempelajari Bass selama berbulan-bulan sebelum mengajukan diri sebagai Bassist.

Dan dari sini kisah sang warsa bermula..

Im proud of you

Hidup memang mudah ketika kulihat dari sisi yang tepat

Kita semua tau

Beberapa orang ingin mati cepat

Maka dia akan menderita bila hidup terlalu lama

Ada pula yang hanya ingin dicintai

Akan menderita hidupnya bila hanya memberi cinta

Aku bangga pada yang kulihat

Manusia yang memperumit hidupnya yang sederhana

Atau tidak ada hidup yang sederhana?

Ingin ingin itu adalah hal yang tidak sederhana

Ingin hidup bahagia

Ingin selalu punya teman

Ingin kaya raya

Ingin keluarga yang sakinah

Keinginan yang hanya muncul jika kamu kamu pernah memilikinya

Meskipun hanyan sekelibat mata

Aku bangga padamu

Ketika kita naif dan curang pada kehadiran

Aku bangga padamu

Kita adalah manusia yang banyak mau
