Weapons

(White Oak blade and arrows)
The blacksmiths of Cyrodiil have been busy creating new ways to dispatch enemies. Here are some of the more popular designs, as well as obscure relics you may come across.



Blades
In addition to the staple styles of daggers, shortswords, longswords, two-handed blades and katanas. There are a variety of sabres. Adventurers now enjoy katanas crafted out of the finest ebony, elven-made claymores and sabres can be found.
(Elven cutlery)

Necromancers, with a flair for the dramatic have specially made scythes crafted out of various material.

Longarms
Halberds, poleaxes give an adventurer some reach.

(Elven pole-arms)
Valenwood Arms
Rangers from Valenwood, and even some of the ancient Ayleids, specialize in elegant and beautiful blades and bows made from White Oak, Elmwood, Sunwood, and Cloudwood.

Unique Weapons

Soul Wail - A blade of daedric origin with potent enchantments, said to be in the hands of a dread necromancer.

Winter's Maiden - A two-handed silver mace carried by one of the leaders of the Skyrim Bandit Clans. Unenchanted, but powerful nonetheless.

Fang - A two-handed blade wielded by the dread leader of the corrupted rangers of Jeffre.

Light of Dawn - A two-handed katana that thirsts for the blood of vampires.

Royal Whisper - An beautiful White-Oak one-handed blade of one of the lieutenants of the corrupted rangers of Jeffre.

Meteoric Weapons

(The enchantments are as brutal as the weapons)

The ancient Ayleids were masters of magic and enchantment, and bold adventurers have found some of their incredible weapons and staves imbued with powerful magicks in the ruins that dot Cyrodiil. And though many of the old cities have inhabitants in the form of bandits or the restless dead, there are still treasures to be found. Though they may be guarded by more than mere monsters.
(Umbacano is said to have an extensive collection)

Those who are brave enough, have been known to bring back these artifacts, and they can be seen in the Fighters Guildhalls in all of the great cities. These weapons are also prized by collectors of Ayleid antiquities.
(Enchanted bows, enchanted arrows, dead enemies)

The Ayleids were as proficient at weaponcraft as they were at magecraft, and have created a weapon suitable to any fighting style. Swords, daggers, maces, long-arms, axes, bows and vicious arrows.

It is even said that the tips some of the deadly arrows, or Pilins as they are called in Aleidoon, have been set with the fell "dark welkynd stone." But these items are so rare as to be thought mythical.

The weapons are heavy, but worth their weight in gold against some of the deadly creatures that still inhabit the glowing halls of the Heartland High Elves.

Those with a keen eye will find some of these items in corners and crannies that many cannot access. Speed, magic, and the ability to acrobatically leap to difficult places will be helpful for any collector.
