Early Scottish highland swords almost invariably carried the double-edged “broadsword” blade, but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged “backsword” was at least equal in popularity. Paul Chen’s Basket-Hilt Backsword, replicated from an original sword in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England that dates from about 1760, has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. The blade of the original was German in origin, but the hilt and blade are contemporary to 18th century Scotland and likely made by local cutlers. This was a common practice at the time to import high quality German blades which were then hilted and finished locally.
Available to order now.

me wanting to put paladin as eyrie canon but only the specific kind of paladin I want to make up because I want to flesh out Lore
#i just gotta make that specific sort of paladin#it’s me building off of how I want paladins in Ishgard and I want them to be weird about halone and divinity#I wanna toss around concepts of either them being part of the ishgardian religious institutions#or that which one existed as part of the religious institutions but have since taken on a less official and more against the grain approach#building off of how the WoL is a free paladin and that the paladin’s of the Holy See are an antique#relegated to the farthest reaches and people that now serve their own self interests#in polite company they are seen as nothing more than mercenaries with morals#they sit with halone as she is righteous and she is caring. not blind to the sacrifices of war—she knows the torment and suffering#I am also snagging bits from the paladin quests I like#that which is creed and valor are all defined by one’s will#strength and power is vested in conviction and duty#sticking all of that in a blender#but eyrie joins them in their efforts post calamity out in central and western coerthas#more funny practical lore is that they fight with one handed swords—often made of one’s own Aether#not unlike how scholar faeries or carbuncles are created#it’s not alive—it’s a cross between an aetheric blade like Alisaie’s the magicks that fuel carbuncles#oc: eyrie kisne#I want to e corporate reasons for eyrie’s faith in halone and I’m puzzling it out
