SHORT SWORD (short blade)

Weight: ~1 kg

Rank(s): 1st row

The short sword is the first type of sword to come into existence. In the simplest of terms, a short sword can be considered a dagger with a blade so long that it can no longer be called a dagger. The term short sword does not exist in sword classifications. However, it has come to be used to describe a double-edged blade about two feet in length. The sword tip is usually pointed, ideal for thrusting.

Short swords are fitted with a handle that can accommodate only one hand.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:

Battlecry, Bladed fury, Bloodlust, Cardiac stimulation, Damn armament, Lure, Pierce, Short blades, Stab and Vampiric blow.
