Used either in pairs or in conjunction with the Ilkurite Great
sword, half swords are wide, thick durasteel blades, with lithium
hardened blades. The half swords are precisely .642 meters in
length, half the length of the great sword, and remarkably heavy,
due to the thickness of the blades, and while they are an integral
part of the warrior culture of Illkure, they aren't particularly
effective combat weapons, unless in the hands of a true master of
the forms. In the hands of a master, they can perform some truly
remarkable maneuvers, capable of slicing through solid durasteel.
