Information Age - Swords
A collection of all Sword Type Weapons available in the Information Age.
Swords
Swords are the largest of the bladed weapon types. They come in two varieties: Swords, such as the longsword or katana, and Large Swords, such as the greatsword. Swords, even in this time, are as much a status symbol as they are a weapon.
