Sword

Swords come in one-handed and two-handed edged weapon varieties, usually in the form of a long, narrow blade with a short handle or hilt. Some swords have one primary edge, some have broader blades, and even others have longer hilts, but all generally rely on the ability to slash an opponent with only occasional piercing attacks.

One-handed weapons generate less damage per second and fewer bonuses than their two-handed counterparts of the same level.

The list of trainers can be found here: Weapons Trainers.

Swords can be enhanced by Enchanting, poisons by Rogues, and by sharpening stones.

Humans have sword and mace specialization which now (following Patch 2.3) translates into weapon Expertise.
