I'm loving the APG so far, but one thing has me wondering.
WHAT is a Tengu Gale Blade?
Like what it looks like? How does it work?
"This fan-shaped sword, designed by members of the tengu ancestry, has five broad blades that join at its hilt. Tengu sailors also use gale blades as makeshift weather vanes, as the sword spins to show the wind’s direction when loosely held aloft."
IT SPINS?!
I need help to imagine this weapon.

It's basically a bladed fan - common in many eastern-themed settings. I imagine that when held loosely - or perhaps if it has a free-spinning pommel - it can be used to indicate wind direction - just like a weather vane. Here's a super-basic sketch of what I envisioned it looking like (with a spinning pommel)

Oh, that kinda works. I like your sketch, thanks for the clarification!
