Dragon’s Oath is the one-handed sword of the Imperial champion, added by the Civil War Champions Creation. It belongs with the Imperial Dragon set and is a light, hard-hitting fire sword.
How to get it
It is connected to the quest Battle of the Champions and the Imperial champion of General Tullius’ Legion. As with the rest of the set, which side you chose in the civil war decides whether the sword is handed to you or has to be taken from the champion.
Enchantment
Burns the target for 30 points of fire damage, and targets on fire take extra damage.
Stats and handling
14 base damage at a weight of only 10. That is as much damage as a Daedric Sword at the weight of a Steel Sword. It uses the One-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with a 
Steel Ingot; Steel Smithing doubles the improvement.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: Daedric-level base damage for a steel-weight sword.
- Strength: cheap to temper.
- Weakness: fire enchantments are weaker against fire-resistant enemies.
Tips
- Works well dual-wielded or with a shield for a Legion knight build.
- The Stormcloak counterpart is the frost-enchanted Storm-Bear Sword.
