Design
The Elven sword has a broad double-edged blade that has a very light and shiny look. The crossguard is small and has metal stripes on every side.

- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Wielded by various characters or enemies.
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item throughout Skyrim.
Fixed Locations

- In the Forgotten ValeDG, an Elven sword can be found in a skeleton, up a path leading to the frozen lake where the dragons Voslaarum and Naaslaarum will spawn. This path can be found just south-west of the Wayshrine of Learning.
Smithing
An Elven sword requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Elven Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 x Iron Ingot
- 1 x Quicksilver Ingot
- 1 x Leather Strip
- 1 x Refined Moonstone
It can be upgraded with a refined moonstone ingot at a grindstone. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
