The sword was the most popular weapon out of many and with good reason. The sword, and similar types of weapons, were of optimal length and perfect for attacking, counterattacking, defending, and repelling attacks.
However, the most important detail was that each sword had a long blade that could be used to cut through anything if you had the right level of skill.
Spears or daggers also had blades, but one was too long and the other too short, though this had its advantages. Hammers were blunt in general, though they had much more explosive power.
The sword was the golden mean, preserving the balance of all existing weapons. The sword was the beginning for all and the logical end, as even the strangest weapons took something from the sword.
