Information
A short sword with a crossguard used to parry an opponent's attack much easier than a conventional shield. It is used in close-range combat, and is held in the opposite hand from the one holding the sword to repel the enemy's attack.
It was favored by those skilled in swordsmanship because it could be used to counterattack. Aristocrats favored it as it shows technical swordsmanship talent. Ghost Armors were also known to carry it.
