A SWORD is universal.
(n.) An offensive weapon, having a long and usually sharp/pointed blade with a cutting edge or edges. It is the general term, including the small sword, rapier, saber, scimiter, and many other varieties.
let's say the average height of a sword is 1 meter (3,3 foot)
So you got a sword. Then you got a short sword (smaler version) the 2 handed version (heavier, longer) etc.
Kopesh swords were heavy and slow because they were made of bronze. Are the kopesh in elanthia slow, heavy and made of bronze? Who would want to fight with such weapon when STEEL is commonly used?
They try to mix ALL types of eras into one, and that makes it weird and franctly stupid.
