Broadsword is a word people use loosely, but it means something specific: a wide straight double edged blade, usually with a guard that covers the hand. The Scots made it famous with the basket hilt, worn when everyone else had moved on to narrow thrusting blades. It cuts rather than fences, and it looks like it.
Guards, liners and blades
Bramblehilt is the full basket, thirty eight inches overall with a thirty two inch blade, a pierced steel basket, a red liner behind the piercing and a black scabbard. Nightcage is the blackened version at thirty seven inches with brass rosette rivets and an etched raven. Emberguard swaps the cage for a pierced shell cut with a Helm of Awe, with red panels and a knuckle bow over a thirty one inch blade. Gloomridge is the dark one, thirty eight inches overall with a twenty eight inch diamond section blade, a swept guard and a ribbed grip. Stonerune is the plainest and the oldest in feel, a runic broadsword in 1095 high carbon steel.
They sit in broadswords, with the caged hilts also in basket and shell hilt swords, inside the wider swords catalogue.
