Shortsword

300 OM - Requires: Physical Strength

Has a use similar to his Longsword, except he primarily uses it to attack weak spots and poke through his opponent's guard. As the blade is only just over 30cm long (about a foot), using this two handed is unwieldy, and its smaller size means it is generally weaker. For speed, it is outclassed by a rapier, and strength by his Longsword. While Dane does not practice with the former, he is proficient at using this as it fits a balance between the two. Furthermore, he occasionally replaces his shield with the weapon when he feels the need for a solid guard is lower, such as when fighting a slow opponent, allowing him to effectively dual wield. Like his Longsword, this too is both made of steel and has the marking "SQ" and the sigil of a lion hidden under the smaller crossguard.
