Long Swords, also known as the Sarafan Swords, were a sword variant weapon that Raziel could wield in Soul Reaver 2. They were initially found in the hands of Sarafan Warrior Swordsmen.
Like many of the weapons in Soul Reaver 2, Long Swords are not explicitly named in-game. In many guides and sources, weapons are divided by generally into one- or two-handed weapons[Soul Reaver 2 manual], or into general weapon families[Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)][1](with the long swords a one-handed sword variant). The Long sword is labelled as "saraswrd" in game files[Soul Reaver 2], and as "long, ornate blades" and "long, delicate blades" in the Prima guide[Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)].
The Long Sword would not feature in Defiance, where The Reaver was the only obtainable weapon, however, its legacy would endure as the Sarafan Templars wielded similarly designed 'claymores' (perhaps implied to be longer and heavier than the long sword). The artifact Malek's Sword, depicted as wielded by the Sarafan commanderMalek on a statue in the Cloister in Defiance, also seemed to be based on the Sarafan Long Sword design[Defiance][Defiance strategy guide].
