In my case, I dropped the Amulet of Kings off at the Priory, then went to Chorrol and joined the Fighter's Guild. Upstairs there was the perfect sword for my knight-like character. A Fine Steel Longsword. It did a good amount of damage, but I cared more that it looked so cool. I still think it's one of the coolest swords in the game. A decorated blade and and ornate hilt. I enchanted it with a sigil stone and kept it at all times, even when I started getting Ebony weapons.
Anyone else show the same loyalty to their first favored weapon?
