A magical weapon with three great razor-sharp blades. According to legend, a master forger created a sword with two blades at the facetious suggestion of a knight, who, finding that the resulting blade was quite functional, jovially quipped, "Ah, very good, but could you make a *triple* sword?" When the answer turned out to be yes, the knight was too shocked to ask about the possibilities of a quadruple sword.
This weapon falls into the 'Long Blades' category. It is a two handed weapon.

Triple swords are the most powerful Long Blades in the game. While they are extremely rare and require considerable skill to use effectively, they are nonetheless excellent for slicing through enemies of all sorts. They have the highest base damage of any weapon wieldable by normal-sized races, but they lack the special abilities of an executioner's axe or a bardiche.
