Cruddium 2 Ferrous 3 |
1 | |
| Bardiche | More a short polearm than a sword, this weapon is given to Tredonian serfs pressed into the army. It is quite heavy, but can be deadly when wielded by an experienced user. Unfortunately, since one of these is handed out per two serfs, rarely does one survive long enough to become experienced with it. Attack: 5 Weight: 8 |
Cruddium 2 Ferrous 3 Phosphorus 1 |
1 | |
| Longsword | A sturdy sword of average quality and balance, it will serve adequately in a fight. Attack: 3 Weight: 5 |
Ferrous 5 | 1 | |
| Crude Longsword | A longsword of surpassingly poor quality. It is likely that a sword such as this was not only made by an apprentice blacksmith, but one with a decided lack of talent. Attack: 0 Weight: 8 |
Cruddium 5 | 1 | |
| Boarding Blade | Boarding Blades are common aboard most Aarbyvillian pirate ships, as they have so many nautical uses. Of course their most common use is for pulling raided ships closer so the pirates can jump aboard, but they work great for skewering fish and pesky merchants as well. Attack: 4 Weight: 6 |
Ferrous 6 | 2 | |
| Greatsword | The greatsword is larger and far heavier than a standard longsword, allowing the wielder to do great damage, but at the expense of being weighed down by such an unwieldy weapon. Attack: 5 Weight: 10 |
Cruddium 3 Ferrous 6 |
2 | |
| Fiery Greatsword | The greatsword is larger and far heavier than a standard longsword, allowing the wielder to do great damage, but at the expense of being weighed down by such an unwieldy weapon. Attack: 6 Weight: 10 |
