This mod adds 1 and 2 hand swords based on the various Oakeshott Types
WTF is Oakeshott!?
Don't worry about it . . . let's go kill dragons! :P
But seriously, Ewart Oakeshott was a British artist and historian who literally wrote the book on medieval arms and armor. The articles linked above are excellent sources of info on Oakeshott and his sword classification system.

The swords can be crafted with a system somewhat similar to how a sword would realistically be made, with component parts coming together for the final product.
They also can be improved on the stone for free. You don't need to slap a whole new ingot on there just to hone the edge!



Current Swords:

Armsman's Sword - 1 hander (XVa) [Requires Steel Smithing Perk]
Captain's Sword - 1 hander (XVa) [Requires Steel Smithing Perk]
Cavalry Broadsword - 1 hander (XIIIb) [No perk requirement]
Duke's Longsword - 2 hander (XX) [Requires Advanced Armors Perk]
Duke's Sword - 1 hander (XX) [Requires Advanced Armors Perk]
Guardian's Longsword - 2 hander (XVIIIc) [Requires Steel Smithing Perk]
Guardian's Sword - 1 hander (XVIIIc) [Requires Steel Smithing Perk]
Justice - 2 hander (less of a historically based weapon, and more of a hells yeah kill stuff weapon) Justice is unique and cannot be crafted. CLUE: It is located on the Executioner's table. Placement of Justice is not compatible with Open Cities Skyrim sorry about that.
Regent's Sword - 1 hander (XXa) [Requires Advanced Armors Perk]
Regent's Longsword - 2 hander (XXa) [Requires Advanced Armors Perk]
Soldier's Broadsword - 1 hander (XIIIb) [No perk requirement]
Warden's Sword - 1 hander (XVIIIb) [Requires Advanced Armors Perk]

How to get the swords:
Craft them! Or find them around the world. Select swords are placed in each player home and also added to leveled lists, but might be incompatible with other mods that change the same lists, so I'll need some help fixing that if anyone knows how. I'm not a scripter.

Sword components are in the Misc category.

Create a Blade, Crossguard, Grip(or Wooden Grip depending on the sword), Pommel, and Scabbard for each sword, then you can create the swords in the Steel category. The higher quality swords require Advanced Armors perk. See above for the list.


Justice is the only unique sword and cannot be crafted.
