Nilfgaard swords

Description

Another piece for the CD Projekt RED portfolio.
As part of designing the Nilfgaard soldiers I also designed their swords.

They're very much based on historical originals of Italian 15th/16th century swords.

They are inlaid with sun and flame symbols and the cinquedea is decorated with a portrait of Emhyr Var Emreis - the shining Nilfgaardian emperor himself.

(as his nickname is "the White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies", I have him stand in flames and skulls.)

I remember seeing a side sword like the one here in a book from my childhood, but I always thought I remembered the blade shape wrong. Guess I didnt though!
