Curved Sabre

BEAT TO QUARTERS!

The officer regarded his men with resolute determination. On orders, they were about to commandeer the vessel in the bay, but all intelligence pointed towards a direct confrontation with its crew. He sheathed his curved sabre and took a deep breath. The chance of success was considerable, but to minimise losses, the operation would have to be dealt with diligence, skill, and no small degree of tenacity.

The Curved Sabre is a weapon befitting an army or naval officer with inspiration from the Age of Sail. Despite the blade curve, the sword offers the same flexibility and safety as you would expect from any other Epic Armoury weapon. The polyurethane hilt displays rich details that resemble a leather grip on gold-ornamented steel. Less wealthy characters might instead wield a Curved Cutlass. An elegant weapon for the duty-bound, privileged pioneer.

A BLADE WITH ELVEN GRACE

Ven’thir stoically regarded the approaching orcish horde and subtly felt the earth rumble beneath him. Similarly clad and with the same composure, his warrior brethren stood by his side. They all knew that a victory would claim many lives, but it was the only way to secure the border of Thrin’dara. In a unison movement, they all drew their curved blades. Ven’thir adjusted his grip and briefly recalled his centuries of training. He intended to die with elven grace.

The Curved Elven Sword is the quintessential weapon for an elven ranger, warrior or aristocrat. The iconic curved blade hints toward a sophisticated and intricate philosophy, supported by a distinct handle with meandering ornamentation mimicking an exotic blend of precious metals and white wood. Perhaps these swords were crafted aeons ago from magically imbued alloys? Only your elven character would know!

AVAST YE, SCALLYWAG!

Screeching gulls circled above our heads as we made our way to the coast. Our coats were no match for the relentless wind, but our attention was fixed on the flamboyant figures awaiting where waves meet the sand. Their curved cutlasses were drawn, and I understood this would be a standoff with skulls and crossbones, as promised. But my cutlass was sharper!

The Curved Cutlass is an iconic weapon for any naval character or urban character connected to shady establishments at the harbours. The weapon is inspired by designs used during the Age of Sail, which forms the setting in most maritime novels. While a cutlass may fit perfectly in the hands of a pirate, it is worth noting that the versatile design allows application with a wide range of characters, such as bold buccaneers, stout seafarers, decisive dock workers or bodacious bandits. Wealthier characters might instead wield a Curved Sabre. Despite status and station, any decent cutlass should have a story (or several) regarding the acquisition of the weapon. Which ones will you tell the crew?
