	A	B	C	D
1	Set Material:	Iron	Steel	Imperial Silver
2	Dagger	A simple rusty iron blade. Inelegant, but capable of cutting up your dinner or the occasional hostile scrib.	A fast, elegant blade in the Dunmeri style. Designed for easy concealment in a sleeve or boot. "The size of the blade matters little when driven by an unrelenting will." -Telvanni Proverb	A close-quarters weapon useful against spirits, monsters, and daedra. The ancient Nibenese would fortify the silver with a single drop of preserved dragon's blood, infusing the weapon with abstractions of pure Akatoshian time.
3	Shortsword	Usually these swords are light and excel at dual wielding and parrying. But the tarnished blade on this one is thick and cumbersome to make up for the iron's weakness.	An ancient Dunmeri design, this short blade is hardened with bone-ash. "The secret to good business is to work towards creating the new rather than fighting the old." -Hlaalu Proverb	A nimble blade adept at harming spirits, monsters, and daedra. Modern artisans of the Nibenay basin use lenses to focus the light of Mnemoli, the memory-star, onto the molten silver for several nights before crafting a blade. This imbues the sword with the subtle, nebuline energies of the lust-singed goddess.
4	Longsword	A standard of highwaymen and struggling mercenaries, this heavy iron sword is unremarkable but for its advanced age.	A long, agile blade in the Dunmeri style. Some Vvardenfell smiths hone their blades by submerging them in one of the natural pools of hot vitrolic acid dotting the landscape. "In war be vicious, unrelenting, and severe so that you conquer your enemy rapidly. This is the only way to preserve their dignity -and your own." -Redoran Proverb	Drawing on ancient Nibenese consecration rituals, these longswords are especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra. Some have under-hilts wrapped in ancestor silk that softly whisper long-forgotten secrets from Old Cyrod.
5	Claymore	This long, rusty two-handed sword is designed for lopping the heads off pikes, halberds, spears, and spearmen.	An exceptionally long Dunmeri blade designed to counter spears and pikes. "The undisciplined seek to change the world to acommodate their weakness. The disciplined change themselves instead." -Indoril Proverb	A beautifully-crafted two-handed sword that is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra. In Nibenese fashion, the underhilt is imprinted with eight Marukhati tower-pictoglyphs. There is a notable blank space where a ninth pictoglyph should be.
6	Mace	A crude mass of iron attached by corroding rivets to shaft of Odai-hickory. This specimen has been crushing armor for centuries, and looks older than the Tribunal.	The rounded heads of this Dunmeri mace are adept at cracking bonemold and shattering chitin. "Order, tradition, fervor, and devotion. These are the cornerstones of the unvanquished house."-Indoril Proverb	A refined crushing weapon, the precise angles of this silvered mace mimic the 8 spokes of the aurbic wheel -a microfetish that inflicts the pain of memory upon ghosts struck by it. It is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra.
7	Warhammer	Little more than a quarry tool attached to a long shaft and streaked with decay, this warhammer is still fearsome in the right hands. "You say 'blunt instrument' like it's an insult. But I know every nerve cluster in your body. By night's end, you'll respect how precise a hammer can be." -Jomic	This two-handed hammer is a favorite of House and city Guards in the more civilized South and West of Vvardenfell. "'Generosity' is what the ignorant call self-interest in the moments before they percieve the slave bracer clasping around their arm." -Hlaalu Proverb	A heavy, crushing weapon, plated in delicate silver. In Nibenese fashion, the steel below the silver is inscribed with ten secret glyphs that form the sheath of an ur-word that cannot be written or pronounced. This weapon is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra.
8	Spear	A sharp blade mounted on a long pole, these simple weapons have been used in skirmishes for millennia. The length will keep your enemies and the blade far away from your body, which is just as well -you don't know where this thing has been.	A grazeland-yew shaft topped with excellent Dunmeri steel. The volcanic landscape of Vvardenfell often brings valuable minerals to the surface. "Show to the world what it expects to see, so that when you act unexpectedly, you will have the advantage."	A long, sophisticated silver spear. In the fashion of Ut-Cyrod, hako-paper incense scraps are tied along the haft, which are then overwrapped by leather imbued with spent mnemospores. It is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra.
9	Halberd	Can't choose between an axe and a spear? Then don't. This decaying iron halberd is a specialty weapon for the indecisive adventurer.	A well-made halberd in the Dunmeri style, this weapon uses thrusts to keep enemies at a distance and sideways sweeps to bypass shields. "The debased ideas of uncivilized cultures can spread like a disease. Cauterize them quickly." -Dres Proverb	A complex polearm plated in silver. The Nibenese often sprinkle such weapons with ancestor-moth dust as they temper, plunge them into minotaur blood to cool, and polish them with jewel-tiger fur. It is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra.
10	War Axe	A favorite of conscripted farmhands and hired muscle, the notched blades of one-handed axes are useful for parrying and ripping shields out of opponent's hands. This one looks like it was used in a woodshed more often than on a battlefield. At least that's where you hope the black, sap-like stains come from.	This fine Dunmeri light axe is perfect for exploring hollow lava tubes and forgotten tombs. "The greatness of a people may be judged by the subtlety of its culture and the sensitivity of its art."	The blade of this heavy two-handed axe has been dipped in molten silver. Some Nibenese claim that silver is the memory of the divines, expressed as creatia, and that such blades cut spirits, monsters, and daedra because they momentarily reverse the spiritual bleed introduced in the Convention, briefly breaking the somnambulence of the divines with searing thought.
11	Battle Axe	Frequently used by those who have more brawn than skill, heavy axes like this reward strength and aggression. This one's blade is spiderwebbed with cracks and stained with corrosion.	A heavy two-handed Dunmeri axe. Vvardenfell steel is often strengthened with trace amounts of rare metals that make it exceptionally hard. "One cannot understand the truth of their nature until it is revealed in battle. Therefore, pity those who do not know war and hardship." -Redoran Proverb	This heavy silvered axe is especially effective against spirits, monsters, and daedra. Traditional Nibenese craftsmen construct the hilts out of the horns of century-minotaurs that they have softened in an emulsion of imp gall and foxfire spores.
12	(Long) Bow	A simple longbow composed of yew around a pliant iron core, this weapon rewards warriors with sharp eyes and deft hands. The cracked limbs show the bow's age and make draws shaky, but if you keep the arrows tip-forward it will probably hurt your enemies more than you. Probably.	The springy steel of this Dunmeri longbow can propel arrows at incredible speeds. Hlaalu artisans often cool the steel in a volcanic vent over several days to keep the metal lithe and strong. "An archer who can calmly pour hissing shafts through a battlefield is worth any price." -Hlaalu Proverb	n/a
13	Broadsword	Preferred by fighters who enjoy the heft of an axe, but need the speed and finesse of a sword. The broad blade is pitted, chipped, and can't hold an edge, but its weight will still get the job done.	The steel of this heavy Dunmeri sword is improved by trace amounts of many rare minerals that are common in Vvardenfell's volcanic ores. "Neither ritual nor oath may match the bond shared by those who have faced death together." -Redoran Proverb
14	Club	The easiest way to make a blunt piece of wood more dangerous? Anchor some jagged scrap iron to it.	A sturdy Dunmer club. The West-gash willow makes it surprisingly springy and agile. "Some cling tenaciously to ignorance and superstition. But we will enlighten them all the same." -Dres Proverb	n/a
15	Staff	n/a	Resilient Sheogorad alder topped with a hard steel finial in the Dunmer style. "Your will must overmatch your suffering." -Telvanni Proverb	n/a
16	Dai-Katana	n/a	A long two-handed sword in the Akaviri style. "The poetry of life is when every action upholds your highest principle, and every thought is borne from a disciplined, focused mind. This is the way to peace." -Tsaesci proverb	n/a
17	Wakizashi	A short sword in the Akaviri style, the chipped blade and loose circular guard bear the evidence of many brutal battles.	A gently curved shortsword in the Akaviri style. "Do not hold back from existence. Live wholeheartedly and without reserve. This way alone honors the gift of being alive." -Tsaesci proverb	n/a
18	Tanto	The tanto is an Akaviri weapon of last resort. This one looks like it was made hastily, by someone who had only heard of a tanto by rote description.	A short, fine dagger in the Akaviri style. "You are a warrior. You exist so that you may die well. Therefore, enter battle knowing that you will die, and you may live. But try to survive a battle, and you will surely die." -Tsaesci proverb	n/a
19	Crossbow	n/a	n/a	n/a
20	Katana	n/a	A curved longsword in the Akaviri style. "The bodies of the undisciplined litter the mountain path to mastery." -Tsaesci proverb	n/a
21	Saber	Light, fast, and boasting a decent handguard, this simple blade is a favorite of sailors and wary merchants. This one has seen better days, but at least it will give your opponents lockjaw.	A favorite of silt-junk sailors, this light, curving blade is often seen on docks along the Bitter Coast. "Innovation disrespects the holy legacy of your ancestors."-Indoril Proverb	n/a
