Sorry for missing last week's everyone, but I had a lot of stuff on my plate :D .
Here's a mini-update to tide you over:
It's just one weapon, but I hope you like it.
This is an example of the standard form of sword used by the Morchanin, an ethnic minority who serve the Ilsamiri in exchange for semi-autonomous government - that is the reason for the Ilsamir insignia being used. The Morchanin are primarily scouts and spies, but are also skilled in stealth. The sword is, as you can see, sharpened all the way down either side of the blade and over the handguard to the pommel. This allows it to be used in a punching motion when necessary. The scabbard is unusual in that it must be opened in order to draw the sword. This is partly due to the make of the sword - the wearer must be protected from the entirety of the blade, and the curve makes drawing past this added protection impossible - and partly due to the moral position of the Morchanin on unnecessary blood-shed - they prefer their fists when attacked suddenly, and their swords only when they know there is no alternative. All Morchanin are, however, trained to release the lid and draw the sword extremely quickly. All this said, the primary weapon of the Morchanin Scout is his blow-pipe.
I hope you enjoyed the exhortation on Morchanin culture, I know I did :D .
The model itself is unskinned, so I simply coloured it. I left the wireframe on to better illustrate the edges of the blades.
I'll have a fuller update for one or other version of the mod this Thursday (Australian east coast time :P ).
Yours,
Ilsamir Lord
