This embodiment of European martial heritage carries a cruciform hilt, designed for two hands to dance along its hilt, orchestrating a symphony of steel and valor upon the fields of honor.
Historical Reverence: Flourishing amidst the late medieval and Renaissance epochs, around 1350 to 1550, with its legacy stretching as far as the 13th and 17th centuries, the Bastard Sword became a symbol of martial mastery. Its name isnāt mere coincidence but a portrayal of its versatility in combat, being an exemplary companion in the duels of nobility and the frenzied clashes of war.
