This thread has a discussion about quarterstaves and several regular posters' versions thereof. Rich H's resource document has several of those types of weapons, I believe.

Well, as the only mace mentioned in Tolkien (not sure where) is Grond (the one used by Sauron) is probably the reason they weren't included. Everyone else used a bladed weapon of some type. Though I think you could easily home rule something up.

Helm Hammerhand, king of Rohan used a hammer.

Are you sure about that? I thought that Helm fought unarmed because he believed if he carried no weapon then none could harm him. I believe his name refers to the fact that his bare hands are like hammers.

Only in Peter Jackson's idea of the Middle-Earth, I'm positive that Helm got his nickname because of the streangth of his fists.
