But Longsword is a more general and open name. It's also a common enough medieval weapon that I'm surprised it's not already in the mod, so it would be perfect to add and fits the bill you're asking for.

Also, since dwarves somewhat resemble vikings in weapon, armor and beard choices, it kind of makes sense for them to have it since vikings had the viking longsword.

Elves seem more believable having a longsword than a broadsword. "Broadsword" sounds hefty and ungraceful, and not something that elves would use, whereas longsword sounds a bit more elegant.

Another possible thing, actually, would be to have mixed names. Like how lots of factions have a warhammer, but some factions call them maces, and others stick with warhammer, but both have the same stats. In the same way, some factions like the elves, dwarves, and men could have "longswords", while other factions, like the orcs, dunlendings, and hobbits could have "broadswords". Longswords and broadswords would have the same stats, but be named differently.
