Normally, the Fighters and Knights favor a Two-Handed Sword (Speed 10, d10/3d6)

at 7th Level, there is 60% change to have Long Sword +2 (Speed 5, d8/d12)
Knights of 7th Level and Higher have a Silver Sword - a Two-Handed Sword+3 that, if used astrally, has a 5% chance to cut an opponent's silver cord. Mind Barred Individuals are immune to this effect.
Supreme Leaders (usually a Fighter/Mage of 10th/8th to 11th/9th Level) carry a Special Silver Sword that is +5, Vorpal and CAN cut the cord of Mind Barred individuals on the Astral.

Ed's Notes: A master class in perpendicular architecture constructed out of polished steel as opposed to stone. Gilt furniture, an eclectic mix of art, and vases overflowing with flowers appoint the rooms. Many Factotums come, go, and stay here. Faction meetings are generally held here. There is one permanent portal connecting the worker's wing of the palace to the metal-works in the Great Foundry. Another leads from the wire-works to the impressive front steps of the palace.
