"The museum-cabinet and huge library arrogated themselves the entire lower floor — there were the controversial and incompatible books that are somehow the history of the nineteenth century; there were scimitars from Nishapur, in whose frozen crescents the wind and violence of battle seemed to be living on."

-Jorge Luis Borges, _The Form of the Sword_. 1953.<br>

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the [[Long Blades]] category. It is a one handed weapon.}}

'''Scimitars''' are the best of the "common" one-handed [[Long Blades]]. While you may eventually wish to upgrade to a [[demon blade]] or a [[double sword]], you can use a scimitar while you're still waiting to find one.

Notably, [[efreet]]s, [[Erica]], and [[Azrael]] always carry [[flame|flaming]] scimitars.
