 **Javelin**:  [[unbound:skills:polearms|Polearms]] //or// [[unbound:skills:thrown|Thrown Weapons]], Medium, d6 Impaling, Thrown, 10sp.\\
-The preferred missile weapon of the Empire of Aranor.  While it can be used in-hand, it is usually thrown until the foe closes, and the wielder then switches to the Langsax.
+The preferred missile weapon of the Empire of Aranor.  While it can be used in-hand, it is usually thrown until the foe closes, and the wielder then switches to the Long-sword.
 **Lance**:  [[unbound:skills:Polearms]], Heavy Two-Handed, d12 Impaling, Reach, 30sp.\\
 This is //not// the mounted lance of the Middle Ages, but the earlier footman's lance.  While it can be used from horseback, the specialized equipment needed to do so with only one hand is not yet available.
-**Langsax**:  [[unbound:skills:blades|Blades]], Medium, d8 Slashing, Ricasso, 20sp.\\
-The standard sidearm of the armies of the Empire of Aranor.  Those places that still have the technology to manufacture this double-edged sword guard that technology jealously.
 **Longbow**:  [[unbound:skills:bows|Bows]], Heavy, d10 Impaling, Advanced (Penetrating, Ranged), 25sp.\\
 A larger and more powerful bow, typically taller than the archer.  Special training was required to even be able to string and draw this monster---without at least one skill rank in Bows, this weapon might as well be a large club.  Though it can be carried in one hand---even the off hand, despite its mass---it requires two hands to fire, and therefore inflicts +1[W] damage on a **hit**.
+**Long-sword**:  [[unbound:skills:blades|Blades]], Medium, d8 Slashing, Ricasso, 20sp.\\
+The standard sidearm of the armies of the Empire of Aranor.  Those places that still have the technology to manufacture this double-edged sword guard that technology jealously.  Its long hilt and ricasso allow it to be used in a 'half-sword' style.
 **Mace**:  [[unbound:skills:blunt|Blunt Weapons]] //or// [[unbound:skills:unbalanced|Unbalanced Weapons]], Medium, d8 Blunt, Hafted, 15sp.\\

 **Quarterstaff**:  [[unbound:skills:blunt|Blunt Weapons]] //or// [[unbound:skills:polearms|Polearms]], Heavy, d10 Blunt, Hafted, 20sp.\\
 A long staff, well-balanced, two to three meters in length, and wielded in either one or two hands.
-**Seax**:  [[unbound:skills:blades|Blades]], Medium, d8 Slashing, 10sp.\\
-The length of a man's arm, the standard sword used throughout the Realms is a single-edged straight weapon.
 **Sickle**:  [[unbound:skills:Blades]], Light, d6 Slashing, Trip, 10sp.\\

 **Sling**:  [[unbound:skills:blunt|Blunt Weapons]] //or// [[unbound:skills:bows|Bows]], Light, d4 Blunt, Complex (Ranged/Cheap Ammo //or// Flexible), 20sp.\\
 A strip of leather, used to launch projectiles or (with a bullet still in the pocket) to strike a foe at close range.  Unlike many other ranged weapons, the sling is considered one-handed when used, but requires a free hand to reload.
+**Sword**:  [[unbound:skills:blades|Blades]], Medium, d8 Slashing, 10sp.\\
+The length of a man's arm, the standard sword used throughout the Realms is a single-edged straight weapon.  It is everybody's second-favourite weapon, and a very common sidearm.
 **Wand**:  [[unbound:skills:blunt|Blunt Weapons]], Light, d6 Blunt, 5sp.
