This one is a bit random, but traditionally, do the Dark Elves lean more towards the use of maces and blunt force weapons or swords and axes?

I'm setting up a build in Oblivion, a mage. I have a personal policy of always having and spending a little time training with some non-magic backup weapon when playing spellcasters, but I usually have one type in mind as I start. This time, though, I'm not sure whether to go with Blade or Blunt. It won't be anything but a minor skill, but it will be my "Plan B" if I get rushed or silenced.

I'm not interested in in-game racial bonuses, because they're rarely all that lore-justified, but I'd like to go with whichever would be more Dunmer-ey.

I could be wrong but from my understanding it is either magic (destruction magic & conjuration being their main) or it is sword and bow.
In Morrowind they also had throwing stars and throwing knifes.

I don't think the Dunmer are known for their use in blunt.

The Morrowind description mentioned they are good with swords. No info on blunts.
