Dwarven Blade Examples
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 4:36 pm
I was looking for some good examples of what a Dwarven blade might look like and came across these.
They're basically Dark Age swords, but the thing that sets two of them apart is multiple fullers, while the third is an unusual grip. I think Dwarven blades would probably look mostly the same as human blades from the Migration Era/Dark Ages, but I like the idea of multiple fullers, which to me seems like a particularly Dwarven embellishment that would highlight the control and finesse of the smiths involved. I also like the idea of atypical hilt shapes, as they would be set apart from the typical Mannish designs.
What are your thoughts?
