Come in, come in! First time in the smithy? A finely-forged pile of pointed prises to be sure. Broad range of broadswords as long as the longswords in the back, and they might have been a bugger to beat out, but those bastard swords are mastercrafted in the famed delosian style.
Pick one up, feel it in your hand. The grip has a weighted pommel at the end, just a bit of lead poured in and sealed, my own little trade secret, sir. It can give you a bit more balance for those deeper swings. Seen a man's shoulder separated severely in one swooping cleave last Sarapin with one of those.
Aah, a classic, the broadsword! Times gone by you'd be hard pressed to find a knight from aspiring squire to senior scarred soldier not slicing and dicing with two of these in the famed doubleslash. We put little grooves in the fuller to give you a bit more retention of your venoms, is it chivalrous to paralyse and beat an epileptic man reduced to idiocy with these beauties? Buggered if I know, but its still a solid choice.
The longsword? Classic forging design, cut a man down simple and clean with those, notice the engraving work on the crossguard? None of this newfangled lovely, or bronze-coated design, that's proper comissioned work from a guildsman. Some might say a weapon is function before form, and I'm not one to turn out style over substance but who says you can't be a fashionable furrower of foes?
Don't forget to check out my fletchery floorpieces. That's a genuine article over there, the Hashani Darkbow, I promise you sir, all my Darkbows are made in Hashan proper in a competely windowless warehouse in the western district by completely sober fletchers, accept no substitution! Or perhaps a crossbow? Spare your sword arm with a windlass-wound wonder! My customers attest there's no finer achievement than acing that arced shot a room away from the adversary.
A fine choice, sir my prices are on the wares board, just remember: The man with more weapons on sale then sense at insensible prices is not going to do it on credit!
Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Daedalan, in the year 794 AF.
