"Short and long swords, held in one hand. Lighter but allow for a shield held in the other hand."
— In-game description
One-handed swords are very practical weapons because they give Shielding. They are especially handy for characters with low Strength, who cannot carry a weapon and a shield without being encumbered.
In combination with a shield you can improve your characters' Shielding even more, resulting in less wounds after Fight challenges.
The best 1-handed swords are made of ancient wood and mithrill or dragon bone and mithrill.
Unlocking 1-handed swords crafting requires 1 advancement point and is a prerequisite for 2-handed swords crafting.
