(They'd also have quite an eastern appearance in their swords, their weapons would evolve from practical tools first however, less tested by war, moreso by dueling amongst themselves, so some weapons would be for hunting, a tradition I expect since being visited by Orome, then something like a katana decoratively but closer to a European dueling sword if we're going for swords) My friend, this thread is one year okd, was the post really necesarry? ^^^
