The Sword of the Crusader is the blade of Pelinal Whitestrake, the legendary crusader from Oblivion’s Knights of the Nine. The Divine Crusader Creation adds it to Skyrim among the Relics of the Crusader.
How to get it
The relics are held by the bandit thieves Eigorn and Oren at Four Skull Lookout, far east-northeast of Markarth. Defeat them to claim the sword. The quest, Relics of the Crusader, does not appear in your journal.
Enchantment
Burns the target for 15 points of fire damage, and targets on fire take extra damage.
Stats and handling
14 base damage at a weight of 13 – Daedric-sword damage at a lighter weight. It uses the One-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with a 
Steel Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Steel Smithing doubles the improvement.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: high damage and low weight.
- Strength: part of a complete crusader set.
- Weakness: the fire enchantment is small.
Tips
- Combine it with the Mace of the Crusader and the crusader armor for a full Knight of the Nine look.
- Good against undead-heavy dungeons when paired with Restoration spells.
