A sword is a long, sharp blade, a weapon that is typically used to inflict large cuts. It is one of the weapons of choice of the Knight. Sword masters can carry a sword in their left hand and therefore often wield two swords; combinations with other weapons, especially spear or dagger, are also common. Others might prefer sword and shield, or a large two-handed sword.
To use a sword, a player character has to learn and develop the Sword skill. Explorers start out with basic knowledge of this skill.
There are many different swords, split into four subtypes: longsword, cutlass, broadsword and two-handed sword.

List of swords
| sword | level | value | damage | flavour text | size |
| longsword (right-handed; masters also left-handed) | |||||
| Common Longsword | 1 | 50 | 3d3 | A simple sword produced with minimum effort, the pommel is just a bit too heavy for the sword to be well balanced. There is not even a maker's mark on the ricasso. | 1x5 |
| Steel Longsword | 3 | 200 | 3d3+3 | Heavier near the base than the average longsword, this sword has a shorter optimal reach, with the point of percussion close to the center of the blade. However, its sturdy, well balanced design makes it an effective weapon nonetheless. | 1x5 |
| Baskethilt Saber | 6 | 350 | 3d3+6 | Top of their class graduates from the Circle of Steel in Soronne are awarded such swords on their day of graduation. It's a weapon of finesse and speed, designed for the quick and agile, rather than the brute. | 1x5 |
| Bastardsword | 9 | 500 | 3d3+9 | The bastardsword is longer and heavier than the normal longsword. It can still be effectively wielded in one hand by a skilled swordswoman, but she has the option to put more power into her swings by using both hands. | 1x5 |
| Mekorig Sword | 12 | 650 | 3d3+12 | Mekorig the Blind may have been the most skilled weaponsmith known since the Silence. Some three hundred years ago his forge produced many high-quality items. This particularly fine sword bears the master's own monogram. | 1x5 |
| Nandaka artifact |
20 | 20000 | 3d3+10 | Also called the 'Black Blade', Nandaka sucks the lifeforce from its victims, transferring some of it to the wielder. The weapon has shown up all over Colony at irregular intervals, and it is not unlikely that once its reappearance becomes known, agents from several guilds will immediately set out for it (+10 to hit, 3d3+10 damage, +20 points of Dark damage, Vampiric). | 1x5 |
| Arondight relic |
30 | 20000 | 3d3+15 | Arondight was the sword of Sir Spearlittle, favorite knight of King David Gryphonheart. Crafted for a noble knight, the swords enchantments even discourage the wielder from less noble acts by penalizing their chance of success. These enchantments obviously weren't enough for Sir Spearlittle, though. He was caught in bed with the Queen of Gryphonheart herself (+15 to hit, 3d3+15 damage, +5 Plate, +25 Speed, +25 Accuracy, -20 Stealing, -10 Disarm, -30 Luck). | 1x5 |
