A basic sword.

A sword is a long-edged piece of metal, used as a cutting and/or thrusting weapon in many civilizations throughout the world. Most are simple blade weapons with a large piece of shaped metal coming out of a hilt. Swords are sometimes a little costly, so they are usually used by either higher ranked soldiers, or nearly every soldier in the more highly funded militaries. Swords are also used by the more upper-middle to upper class peasants, while the other peasants use daggers or spears to protect themselves.


Swords have many variations such as...

  • Broadsword, large straight-bladed and double-edged
  • Dirk, cut-down sword blade mounted on a dagger hilt
  • Ice Sword, a sword with the blade made of dry and extremly solid ice
  • Katana, very sharp, curved, single-edged
  • Long Sword, a sword with a long blade
  • MagBlade, a sword with an edge made of a magical substance
  • Rapier, a long, straight blade, used for piercing attacks
  • Sabre, a usually curved single edged sword with a large hand grip
  • Scimitar, similar but usually shorter than a katana, and with a broader blade
  • Thorn Sword, a basic sword with thorns on the blade
