THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, WE MADE TO THE HOTFILES!

"... Since the born of the First Empire, skillful warriors have been trained to be ready for everything, in their arsenal, you could find only the highest quality equipment, made by the best smiths in all Cyrodiil. Among those equipments, one could find this peculiar greatsword, a massive a long blade usually wielded by the most fearless Elite Knights, those knights preferred to abdicate their shields and go for a more aggressive strategy, similar to the Berserker nordic style. A heavy weapon, but will perform devastating blows..."

The Imperial Elite Greatsword is based on the ultra greatsword called Astora Greatsword from Dark Souls 3.
