Scimitar

The Scimitar is a somewhat rare, curved sword that appears in . Its damage is equal to that of an Elven sword, only it is lighter and less valuable.
==Locations==
The scimitar typically cannot be purchased from a merchant or blacksmiths. However, there are several locations where one may be found:
*Kematu, and all Alik'r mercenaries encountered during the quest "In My Time of Need," carry scimitars.
*Velehk Sain carries two. He can be found after interacting with the Daedric Relic.
*Carried by Corsairs on the Dainty Sload.
*Nazir, in the quest "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!" Alternatively, it may be pickpocketed from him after joining the Dark Brotherhood.
*One under a boat between the Wreck of the Brinehammer and Dawnstar.
*Rayya carries two in the add-on.
*Inside the hull of the Wreck of the Strident Squall in the add-on.
==Variants==
*A unique version called Windshear can be found on the main deck of The Katariah, during or after the Dark Brotherhood quest "Hail Sithis!" It bears a unique enchantment that gives bash attacks a chance to knock the opponent down. It also staggers the target with every hit.
*Two unique variants called Bloodscythe and Soulrender, the signature weapons of famed pirate Haknir Death-Brand, can be found in his tomb at Gyldenhul Barrow, a location in . When dual-wielded together, they unleash a special enchantment.
==Smithing==
Though the scimitar cannot be forged by the Dragonborn, it can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a grindstone, and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
==Bugs==
*If the scimitar is the second weapon to be placed on a weapon rack or shield plaque, it will be in the correct alignment, but much higher up than the other weapon.
**Placing the scimitar first avoids this issue.
==Trivia==
*The Scimitar mirrors the real-life Scimitar, a weapon that originated in the Middle-East.
