The rank of Swordsman is awarded to any Clan member who has distinguished themselves in combat and has scored 25 plus confirmed kills.

The Swordsman is a warrior of lower rank. Whilst not holding any real authority, he demands the respect of his peers through courageous feats on the battlefield. He is a trusted member of the Clan, and has proven himself in combat.

The duties of the Swordsman primarily lie in performing well in combat. It is each Swordsman duty to hone his combat skills so he can kill the enemy without endangering his own life. A Swordsman does not have the authority to lead men into combat. His duty is to serve his commanders well and to impart knowledge to the youger and less experienced Men At Arms. Only if he finds himself under attack, the Swordsman has the authority to rally the Men at Arms to help defend the Clan against any aggressors. He is not to lead these men into any planned offensive situation without authorisation from his superiors.

If the Swordsman brings the Clan into disrepute or dis-honour from any direct action that he undertakes, the Bladesman can be asked to surrender his (or her) blade and be demoted. Depending on the level of dis-honour bought against the Clan, would decide how far he is demoted. However, if he performs extremely well in the field and brings honour to the Clan and to himself, he can be rewarded with a citation, or in extreme cases, an honourary promotion.
