Elvish Longsword

Lhangsean

History
The longswords have not varied much in their design since the early days. They are made by smiths known as the Faeren (sin. Faeros).

Design
They have a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. They are forged over a long time, often days or weeks, when the smiths heat, fold and hammer out the metal, often working with an apprentice (sometimes two), to get just the right finish. To the trained eye, a sword can be identified as having been made by a particular smith.
