Requested Item:
Blade of The North
A short one-handed blade crafted out of nearly completely purified iron ore which shines in the light due to its glossy look. The amount of care the blacksmith put into the weapon can be seen by just glancing at the finely polished weapon, and it can be heard in the slicing sound in its swing. Even for its level, the craftsmanship is near perfection. It is shorter than a usual sword, its length being only fifty-centimeters from base to tip, but it is much heavier than one would think by just looking at it. The density of the weapon is much higher due to numerous folding and wrappings of the metal, giving it a false sense of weakness to those whom have never held it. The weapon is formed to mimic an ancient sword, the Xiphos, but it is slightly more slender than the older weapons. At the base on both sides of the iron blade, three inches of the weapon have been serrated to increase damage should the entire length of the blade be used.
With just a look at the weapon's aesthetics, it is easy to see that it is one of two swords; a pairing of blades. This weapon in particular gives off a slight blue aura around it. The blade is nearly white like the snow on the mountains in the distance, and its hilt is laced with dark blue leather. At the base of the sword where the blade meets the hilt, a small pure white guard protects the user's hand. In the center of the guard, and reaching slightly down towards the hilt, a small blue gem sits nestled inside of the handle.

With just a look at the weapon's aesthetics, it is easy to see that it is one of two swords; a pairing of blades. This weapon in particular gives off a slight red aura around it. The blade is a slight yellow like the sand on a beach, and its hilt is laced with maroon colored leather. At the base of the sword where the blade meets the hilt, a small pure black guard protects the user's hand. In the center of the guard, and reaching slightly down towards the hilt, a small red gem sits nestled inside of the handle.

Blades of The West
Weapons are not measured in just how they look, but in their usefulness. They are also measured in their weight. Is it worth carrying the weapon to battle? Is it worth drawing it? The blacksmith attacked these questions in a simple manner; increase the number of weapons, decrease their sizes, increase their amount of uses. Twelve blades, each twelve centimeters in length, have been created for this purpose. Designated at "throwing knives" or "throwing blades", the twelve are able to be launched by the user from a distance and are able to strike down foes a usual blade user may not be able to reach. Unlike other throwing knives which may have only straight edges, the edges of all twelve are completely serrated and lined with teeth all along their lengths, except for on their very short hilts. Additionally, the tips are barbed, making pulling the knives from their impact points very difficult to do without harming oneself. Because of their length, the weapons can be used for throwing and may also be drawn and used for makeshift daggers.
