- Name: Pierre
- Aletrium alloy: Being a standard-issue close-quarters-combat weapon for many a soldier, the sword would have to be made of a decent metal. This particular alloy is renowned for its lightness and remarkable durability, making it a popular choice amongst mercenaries as well.
- Simple design: Designed to be simple and practical, the weapon is just made for close-quarters combat. There are no special features to have turned against the wielder, no otherworldly spirits to run rampant in the user’s head. It’s a sword. For slashing and thrusting.
Weaknesses: - Self-defence only: Due to its non-magical nature, the weapon cannot overcome more than a standard guard. Unless, of course, it hits the right place – in which case, it is as effective as the attack would make it.
- Still just a sword: Despite what it is made of, the sword is still just a sword, and is easily broken by magical weaponry, if struck hard enough.
- Cumbersome: Not as cumbersome as, say, a warhammer, but there are other weapons that can be drawn a lot quicker than a broadsword.
Abilities: - It cuts things pretty well.
Type:One-handed sword
Description: Taking the form of a simple one-handed broadsword, the weapon is forged of a strong, lightweight alloy. Polished and sharp enough to make a clean wound, the blade is neither particularly wide nor thick, but is a decent choice for slashing or stabbing. The handle, hilt and guard are in the typical ‘T’ shape, though with the guard pointing upwards at a roughly 45o angle, it seems to resemble a Y to some people as well. The guard remains undecorated, while the handle is wrapped in black leather, in order to aid grip. The pommel of the blade is a small sphere, matching the colour of the metal of the blade. A hole has been made in it, with a short leather strap through it – though some may find it unwieldy, Peter likes to use it, as if he loses his grip on the weapon, the leather strip still lets him hang on to it.
