"The king without a sword? The land without a king!"
- —Bretonnian saying[2]
Bretonnian longswords as rendered for Total War: Warhammer.
Longswords are melee weapons that feature a long blade, a wide hilt, and a somewhat lengthened handle. Preferred by most knights and warriors in the Old World, especially in Bretonnia, they are probably representative of most swords.[1a]
Role[]
A noble Bretonnian longsword
It cannot be denied that the individual products of Bretonnian craftsmen tend to be superior to those produced in the Empire. A Bretonnian swordsmith lives to make the best swords he can, not to make as much money as possible.[2][3a]
The finest longswords in Bretonnia are forged by master swordsmiths, as folding steel takes great skill; the more folds, the stronger and sharper the blade.[2][3a]
Notable Longswords[]
- Sword of Couronne - The ancestral sword of the Grail Companion, Carleond of Couronne. It is currently wielded by none other than King Louen Leoncoeur himself.
- Blade of Couronne - A great blade gifted by King Louen to Duke Tancred of Quenelles. It is not to be confused with the King's own Sword of Couronne.
- Durendyal - The relic blade of the fabled Grail Knight, Reolus.
- Sword of the Lady's Champion - A mystical longsword that is said to appear from Sacred Lakes on the eve of battle.
- The Sword of Heroes - A powerful, monster-slaying longsword that has been wielded by many Bretonnian heroes.
