Ma-am (Slings):
The Ma-am is woven out of materials such as Hau (a lowland hibiscus tree), Anha (coconut husk sennit), Aja-hala (aerial roots of the pandanus), Olanda (a Ankorillian shrub whose bark produces, what is said to be, one of the strongest fiber in the world) or human hair. The sling is used very effectively and accurately. Ankorillian warriors, adept at the use of this weapon, uses slingstones which are sharpened to a point at both ends, resembling a football. The average stone is about 2.2 inches long with a middle diameter of 1.6 inches.

Ka-An (Strangling Cords):
The ka-an is another weapon in Ankorill that is used in fighting. It is also used as an instrument of the public executioner. The Ka-An is used primarily to strangle, but was also used to tie-up an opponent. It normally has a wooden or ivory handle, to which square, eight-ply cordage is attached. The handle, alone, can also be used to cause damage. This is a very effective weapon in the hands of one skilled in its use.0xp

Ihedea (Spears):
Ankorillian's use many types of spears used for throwing or thrusting. They are made from native hardwoods. Ankorillian Ihedea are either unbarbed or barbed. They are of varying lengths, from approximately six to nine feet long. Ankorillian warriors are trained to catch and/or deflect spears thrown at them, even in great numbers. They would also be able to return the spears, once caught. There are many eyewitness accounts of the great skill employed by warriors who would remain untouched even though great numbers of spears would be thrown at them and would "fall like rain."0xp

Po-Ko-Po (Long Pikes):
The Po-Ko usually ranges from twelve to eighteen feet in length with smoothe blade-like points. They are fashioned with an enlarged butt end, with variously designed knobs or grips, which differentiated them from the Uhedea. They are very heavy, with shafts of 1.5" to 2" thick. These long pikes are used to break up enemy formations. They are also used to vault over streams and lava crevices. In addition, Ankorrillian warriors can use them as pole vaults in pursuit of or to escape from an enemy.0xp

The natives there are strange and wild looking.
Here is the only existing work on how they live, their customs, beliefs and rituals.
