NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

It would be more canonical to use a curved saber, but this option is also acceptable because: "...In the 10th-11th centuries, sabers appeared in the Arab world, but initially, they did not gain widespread popularity there, facing competition from traditional straight-bladed weapons. From the 12th century, they became more widespread in Iran, Anatolia, Egypt, and the Caucasus. In the 13th century, sabers in Islamic countries began to replace swords and broadswords..." Thus, both options are valid – the question is only about the time frame, which means we need to decide on the historical period of the Eastern countries that the developers relied on when creating the Academy. If our Academy is a cosplay of Eastern countries before the 12th century, then we keep the sword; if it is a cosplay of Eastern countries after the 12th century, then we use the saber.
