Swordtember
A drawing-a-day challenge to design a new sword, with an additional drawing of their owners
1: Shadow
Forager has any kind of plant you might need; her golden knife tells her the location of rare and unknown items

A simple blade with a simple addition to help out those with fresh, untrained eyes new to exploring
3: Insect-like
A noble assassin of nobles who’s weapon of choice is made from a former lord who’s line she ended
4: Ghostly
The huntsman is a master of his craft and, if you have enough to offer in return, will unquestioningly hunt whatever you might wish
5: Lava
Covered in ash, soot and kindling, the pyromancer does not know magic - fire itself is magic enough for them. Their blade is made of a solid piece of obsidian, melded with red crystal
6: Snow
Made from his winter caches - 2 cents each!
7: Storm
The barbarian sparrow prefers to engender fear rather than fight. She makes her presence known through bells and chimes and her pair of cleavers that resonate with thunder when struck together

9: Summoned
Jimmit’s here and only slightly late!
10: Banished
A sinner and his enabling weapon
11: Dwarven
Many come to trade or store their goods with the Treasurer; his labyrinthian mines ensure their items will never be stolen. He otherwise spends his time seeking new valuables with the Dowsers - bracelets that extend blades when near treasure or enemies
12: Elven
There are tales of a pale lizard that has been alive since the beginning of time. It defends itself with a large, elegant blade and breathtaking precision, despite lacking eyes.
13: Brittle
Hermit survives through her her modest, careful and solitary life; both her back and her cleaver carrying stories in their deep markings.
14: Aquatic
Renown for both immense size and his effortless, unrelenting chase, his deserving quarry fear the albatross’ looming shadow.
15: Forest
It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this fella!
16: Broken
Jimmit didn’t even get his name right.
17: Bone/Tooth
It is unknown if the markings in the Braggart’s tusk-blades represents her kills - she is the only one talking about why they’re there, after all.
18: Floral
The seamstress practices the ephemeral skill of delicately cutting flower petals into lace-like patterns. While she is tiny enough to wear her art, others will painstakingly preserve her fine works.
19: Musical
With jovial displays accompanied by his tambourine and sword that whistles melodiously as it whirls around him, Sward Dancer charms paupers and nobles alike.
20: Blessed
The mother is very proud of her adventurous sons.
21: Eyes
With quick feet and sharp peepers, Mapmaker defends her documents with a quicker and sharper blade on a rope.
22: Alive
According to him, a simple and discreet surgery with this amaranth shaped scalpel and a small vial of what you could swear is (and what he’ll insist isn’t) honey, will summon life back into anyone in need of reviving. Although, it takes about a week to take full effect.
23: Multipurpose
Yes, that is a new bridge. No, it wasn’t there yesterday.
24: Vampire Hunter

25: Translucent
This lovely ermine always knows exactly the snacks all his guests prefer, and serves them with an ethereal set of metal knives so finely crafted that you can see through them.

29: Wind
Judgement is a grim weapon wielded by a murmuration of starlings, who rely on it’s kinetic energy to devastate just about everything it’s chaotic path
30: Ornate
She doesn’t have much, but her - admittedly ineffectual - heirloom contains generations of her family’s history in the form of personal decorations added by each former owner. Who knows what she’ll add after her own adventures!
