Sword

"While somewhat more complex than the spear, swords are more devastating in combat due to their additional striking edge. The entire length of the blade can be sharp, where as a spear usually only has 6 to 12 inches of sharpened surface.
That said; crafting a sword takes a lot more time and skill. As such they are often seen as weapons of status, where clubs, spears and daggers are seen as weapons of the lower classes" - Halfling swords-master, after winning a duel.
