Espada

Overview

A well-crafted sword with a curved blade and a decorated handle, the espada carries the appearance of a status symbol as much as a weapon. Despite its ornate look, its blade is fully functional in combat and capable of handling the demands of close-quarters fighting without the decoration getting in the way of its purpose. The craftsmanship that goes into an espada sets it apart visually from more utilitarian blades in the game, reflecting the kind of weapon that might belong to someone of rank or means. What it looks like and what it can do are not in contradiction.
