A straight, double-edged steel blade with a cruciform hilt, balanced for a single hand but heavy enough to be used two-handed for greater reach and force. The pattern is ubiquitous: Aurelion knights drill with sun-pommelled variants on the academy floors of Helion, frontier sheriffs keep them as a last resort when the powder is wet, and the Covenant of the Ebon Creed crowns its initiates with un-blessed steel before the sermon. Cheap, reliable, and deadly in any tier.
