Gladius

Description
The Gladius is one of the shortest and plainest-looking swords in the game. It is the default sword skin for PvP characters, as well as the infamous Denravi Sword. The Elonian version is different looking from the standard Gladius, it is still plain-looking but much more streamlined and bears more resemblance to the Roman Gladius it gets its name from.

Dye
Applying dye to a Gladius affect the hilt. Applying dye to the Elonian version of the Gladius seems to leave a slight tinge over the whole sword, but mostly on the hilt.
