Blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in a way that the falcata is capable of delivering a blow with the momentum of an axe, while maintaining the longer cutting edge of a sword. The grip is typically hook-shaped, the end often stylized in the shape of a horse or a bird.

Taken from a roman time sword that existed and was used by Lusitans (and those dudes kicked ass big time)

That looks remarkably like a kopis, but could/would be covered by a type of short sword as it looks to be iron/steel rather than bronze.

[Valindra]

thrutfully the rl kopis are the origin\inspiration for these swords Lusitans would burrie the steal under the ground and let the earh "eat" the weaker parts of it then use 2 or 3 sheets of that steal to make them.

It would appear we already have falcata's in TLI

Code: Select all

(14:55:33) Desdaemona: (notice) Item 32 'short sword': type Weapon, ATK value 2, price 40.00, slots 1, uses 0, level 1 strength 5 class B.
(14:55:35) Desdaemona: (notice) Description : Any one of a variety of single or dual-edged balded weapons, usually with a point, such as short sword, gladius or falcata

A lot of the weapons you can buy have a lot of flexibility honestly. You can have nearly every weapon in medieval times, just need to find what's closest in the databanks and us that.
