Claymore

A claymore is a type of Griswulfen sword characterized by it's wide crossguard and long blade. Made for two-handed use, the claymore is very heavy in comparison to many other swords made in Draven, and is often carried by knights and mercenaries. In the Age of Enlightenment, Skald invaders of Draven discovered the claymore, and attempted to replicate it in their own image. Thus, the greatsword was created, a much heavier sword used in many places across the world.

Fighting with a Claymore
Fighting with a claymore requires a lot of physical strength and training, as one wrong swing could result in a deep self-inflicted wound. When wielding a claymore, one must use circular swinging motions in order to create momentum to slash through opponent's armor, and avoid hitting themselves or straining their arms. When used correctly, claymores are extremely lethal weapons against both flesh and steel.

Claymores made before the Age of Dracae are much longer and heavier than modern models, and are often mistaken for greatswords.
