Cinqueda
A short-bladed sword with a very wide blade, usually not sharpened at the point. Not commonly found outside of Estalia, where the sword is traditionally the weapon of the common man. Often gifted at the founding of a town or village to the "Hildago" or head of the town as a sign of their leadership, many are inscribed in commemoration of the founding with elaborate scenes of the town or event marking it's founding upon the Blade. The modern style of Estalian Swordplay shuns this comparatively awkward blade, and it is seen as a weapon of the rural townsfolk rather than the vaunted swordsman.
