The sword staff 'svaerdstav' is a simple Danish polearm constructed by placing a sword blade on the end of a pole. Utilised by militias who are formed and trained in this unique weapon, it allows them all the potential of a sword but at a greater length which is perfect for garrisoning a settlement. Being armoured in plate also helps.

Unit can adopt the phalanx formation.
