Royal Swords

The Royal Swords are the royal guard of the Emperor of Dynaria, and are the greatest warriors in the continent. Only the most skilled men (and in some cases women) may become a Royal Sword. There are usually 5 Royal Swords in service. They are led by the Blessed Sword, the most loyal and skilled fighter in the realm.

Elven Swords
The Elven swords are the ancient swords forged by the ancient elves, and now used by the Royal Swords, and they may use no other sword but them. There are 5 elven swords for each Royal Sword.
 * Dragonbane: Dragonbane is the sword used by the Blessed Sword, and only the Blessed Sword. It is the greatest out of all five.
 * Heartsting: Heartsting is the sword usually wielded by the second most skilled Royal Sword. It is a thin, sharp, straight sword with a curved crossguard.
 * Mountain Cleaver: Mountain Cleaver is a large sword, larger than Dragonbane. It is said to kill giants in one strike.
 * Firecloud: Firecloud is a sword with a red hilt, and a pommel shaped like a dragon.
 * Bloodsucker: Bloodsucker is a very sharp sword, with a blood red hilt and a pointed pommel. It is not called Bloodsucker for nothing, for out of all five swords, it has seen the most kills.
