Divided into three categories - Weapons, Horses and Literacy Works. This page presents some of the items and stuff used by the characters during the Three Kingdoms period along with a brief description of them. I have encounter some diffciulties in translating some of the items listed on this page from their chinese equivalents to english so expect a bit of inconsistencies for their names. Anyway there is nothing to worry cause the difference is minimal.
