"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[]

Espada bretonia

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[]

  • 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.
  • The Sword of Heroes - A powerful, monster-slaying longsword that has been wielded by many Bretonnian heroes.
