CENTORAURIAN CAVALRY SABRE, THE
The Centoraurian Men are master equestrians, and such they have one of the best cavalries in Santharia. For close combat on horseback, the Centoraurian Cavalry Sabre proves a swift and, when in the hands of an expert, a very dangerous weapon. A long blade, even slightly longer than a longsword, one side of this sword is not sharpened and straight for more stability. The other side draws a bow inward and then outwards again and is sharpened. The tip of the blade is a bulky head with one sharp side which is used to slash the enemy. The rest of blade is used for dodging.
 

CENTORAURIAN SHORTSWORD, THE
A blade of about half a ped length. It is formed like a rectangle with one edge representing the sharpened tip, the other forming a connection to the handle similar to spears and lances. Good in close combat and against armoured knights because of the very sharp and thin form.
 

CUTLASS, THE AVENNORIAN
The Cutlass is a broad, curved bladed sword, commonly used by those going to sea. Originating from the Sarvonian North, the Glandorians and later the Avennorians, the often unsheathed worn Cutlass is still considered today to be one of the best weapons for use aboard a ship due to its shorter length, its thick heavy blade and relatively easy handling. Due to these reasons the Cutlass has also become a very typical pirate weapon.
 

DOUBLE KILIJ BLADE, THE
The Double Kilij is a curved small blade that comes in pairs. It originates from the Shendar tribe and is mostly used by the men since the women prefer the bane whip. The blade was used in fights and battles since the Shendar tribes formed. In times of peace its usefulness circles around the beauty it contains when employed in the Shendar sword dance. It is both deadly and beautiful.
 

ERPHERONIAN BROADSWORD, THE ("EPHORD")
The Erpheronian Broadsword or simply "Ephord" is one of the most common weapons in the North. Being quite sturdy and durable because of the broad blade it is used by infantry as well as by knights as a secondary weapon. Its blade is slightly longer than that of a normal shortsword, nearly half a ped. The hilt is shaped to fit very well in one's hand. The design can be very different, sometimes fine decorated, but often also kept very practical only. One characteristic of the Erpheronian Broadsword, however, is its blunted tip. This makes the blade even harder to break but also more difficult to pierce armour.
 

HELCRANI SHORTSWORD, THE
The Helcrani Shortsword is a one hand sword, approximately 60 nailsbreadths long (hilt not included). It is used by Helcrani warriors since the first half of the 7th century b.S. It is designed especially for making short, powerful thrusts. Several different designs were and are still made, but there are three primary kinds of the Helcrani Shortsword known as the “Erpheronian”, the “Paramer”, and the “Sting”. The Helcrani Shortword is frequently depicted in coats of arms of noble families and military units.
 

IURÁS, THE
The Iurías and its two-handed version the Kýrass are both swords used primarily by Kaýrrhem guards in eastern Nybelmar, and as such quite common. The Kaýrrhem (or Kaýr) are said to have used these lightweight, curved blades already since the time before the War of the Chosen, and a lot of lore is related to its origins and its legendary role in the battle against the mythical wizard Menemronn.
 

MOONBLADE, THE
Modeled after the legendary sword given to Kasumar by Korenjah, these are possibly the most feared blades to the Sarvonian population. Slightly curved, slim, and exceedingly sharp, these blades are a match for any ever produced by the forges of Dzulmir, and better than most.
 

NIGHTCLAW BLADE, THE
The Nightclaw is a strange-looking weapon to say the least. It consists of two pincerlike blades, one armlength long straight blade called the Reach, and the other a mere two curved handbreadths, called the Grasp. The sword's unusual construction, while making it rather unwieldy, also makes it excellent for disarming an opponent. If the wielder can manage to trap the enemy's blade between the Grasp and the Reach, a mere twist of the hand will disarm the foe. This maneuver is called the Sunstealer.
 

REMUSIAN WARSWORD, THE
The Remusian Warsword is a powerful slashing weapon with the ability to thrust. Standing at an average of 97 nailsbreadths in length, the Warsword is perfect as an arming sword for any warrior. It is commonly used by the Remusians and nearby Ice Tribes against foes clad in mail. The Warsword came into use by the year 1100 a.S., and has seen use in combat in Northern Sarvonia ever since. A Remusian Warsword will always have a distinct taper, which runs subtly until the end of the fuller, at which point it begins to increase the taper rate to the point. The fuller and taper allow the sword to be both quick and powerful with its cuts. While various types of cross-guards have been encountered, but one simple type is seen far more commonly than any other. The usual guard is straight with an octagonal cross-section and a wasted appearance. Pommels are almost always a slight oval with beveled faces that are strongly hollowed out, keeping it clean and attractive.
 

SHORTSWORD, THE
A blade of about half a ped in length. It is formed like a rectangle with one edge representing the sharpened tip, the other forming a connection to the handle similar to spears and lances. Good in close combat and against armoured knights because of the very sharp and thin form.
